2008 The last time Sri Lanka beat India in a bilateral series across formats. Sri Lanka beat India in a three-Test series 2-1 at home then. In the 20 bilateral rubbers since till this T20I series (one-off matches included), India went on to win as many as 18, including all of the last 13, with two ending in stalemates.

81/8 is the lowest T20I total by a Full Member team batting first and batting out their entire quota of 20 overs. The previous lowest was Zimbabwe's 93/8 against South Africa in Hambantota during T20 World Cup in 2012. The only instance of a Full Member side scoring fewer when they batted out all 20 overs was West Indies' 79/7 in a chase of 106 against Zimbabwe in Port of Spain in 2010.
