Powered by a solid half-century from the retiring Kumar Sangakkara, Jackpot Bet Online which overshadowed Payer of the Series Virat Kohli's 77, the Lasith Malinga-led side defeated India by six wickets at Mirpur in Bangladesh.
The win not only soothed the sting of regularly losing in finals, but was also the perfect T20 international farewell for Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene.
Benvenuto!
