Sri Lanka's capitulation in 19.5 overs made it their second shortest innings. The visitors never recovered after slumping to 31-5, with only three batters reaching double figures, including top scorer Angelo Mathews (18). It comes just two months after Sri Lanka's world-record 317-run loss to India in Thiruvananthapuram - when they were out for 73.
