India beat Sri Lanka in the fourth one-day international on Thursday to continue their winning streak on the tour. India now lead 4-0 in the five match ODI series.

Here is how it happened:

India win the match by 168 runs.

'21:52

OUT

Malinga is the last man to bat and he doesn't last long. Kuldeep beat him and hits the timber. Malinga went for a big swipe and lost his middle stump.

This is Sri Lanka's biggest defeat at home in terms of runs.

'21:50
 
OUT

Fernando is deceived him in flight. Kuldeep accepts a simple return catch

'21:45

OUT

What did I tell you... Pushpakumara hits one straight to Pandya at third man. Bumrah gets his second wicket. 

SL- 196/8

'21:42

40 overs gone. Sri Lanka are 192 for 7. They need to score 184 runs from 60 balls. The required run rate is 18.4

So basically the only point of interest left is to see whether Sri Lanka could bat the whole 50 overs or not. 

I don't think so!

'21:34

OUT

What's happening here. It's another wicket falls just after a boundary ball. Mathews is gone for 70 and with him goes any hope Sri Lanka had left here. 

Mathews tries to reach out to a wide delivery, ends up getting a toe-end of the bat. Caught at short third man. 

FOUR

Mathews sweeps it the square leg boundary. Axar has not bowled well today 

SL-  191/7 after 38 overs

'21:30

It has gone quiet on the run scoring front since de Silva's departure. It seems Sri Lanka are almost resigned to their fate now. To be fair, Mathews is batting with the tail here. 

SL-  182/6 after 37 overs

'21:16

OUT

Oh! Just when Sri Lanka were looking interesting. 

De Silva was far too down looking for a non-existent single. Bumrah fired the throw and Axar did well to stop it and deflect the ball onto the stumps. 

FOUR 

Mathews slog sweeps it for a boundary. Good over for SL so far.

SIX

De Silva steps out and puts it over the bowler's head. Hits the sightscreen. 

FOUR

De Silva has swept this one to the boundary. 

SL- 117/6 after 34 overs

'20:55

Shardul Thakur returns to the attack.

Mathews takes a FOUR off the last ball, hits it down the track. Cross batted shot beats mid-on.

SL- 154/5 after 31 overs 

'20:49

OUT

And another batsman falls just after hitting a six. They are checking for no ball and it's alright. Takes the outside edge Dhoni takes his third catch. 

SIX

Siriwardana flicks it over midwicket boundary. Sri Lanka need a lot more of them. 

SL- 141/5 

'20:44

Siriwardana and Mathews have got a good partnership going here. They have score a boundary in almost every over. Can they this close? 

SL- 135/4 after 28 overs

'20:30

Two good overs from the spinners. India are hurrying through their overs here with Kuldeep and Axar. 

SL- 104/4 after 23 overs

'20:25

SL- 91/4 after 20 overs

'20:15

Siriwardana and Mathews are trying to steady the ship here. two fours off the 18th over.

The required run rate is over 9 now. Sri Lanka will need something special to get a win here.  

SL- 86/4 after 18 overs

Over fine leg. Thirimanne hooks the bouncer away.

'19:50 

Another tight over from Pandya. The required run rate is 8.83 now. 

SL- 49/3 after 13 overs

'19:44

Tidy over from Hardik Pandya. Just 4 off it. 

SL- 44/3 after 11 overs

'19:36

10 overs gone. India seamers have started well here, but the real hero has been Dhoni. His two reviews have put Sri Lanka on the backfoot. 

Hardik Pandya to bowl the next over.

SL- 40/3

Again a faint glove to Dhoni. Munaweera's day is over.  Another review, Dhoni is right again.

Big blow for Sri Lanka. Dickwella was looking good here, taking one four off the first delivery of the over. 

Mendis the new man in.

SL- 22/1 after 3 overs

'18:55

Not great bowling by Jasprit Bumrah here.
