In the final ODI in Colombo, Sri Lanka defeated India by 110 runs, securing their first bilateral ODI series win over India since 1997. Chasing 249, India collapsed to 138 all out in 26.1 overs, undone by Dunith Wellalage's five-wicket haul and Maheesh Theekshana’s spin. Despite a solid start from Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, and debutant Riyan Parag fell to Sri Lankan spinners. Earlier, Sri Lanka scored 248/7, led by Avishka Fernando’s 96 and Kusal Mendis’s 59.
