Samra tumbled records at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Tuesday when he became the youngest batter to score a century in a T20 World Cup match after smashing a 58-ball ton.
In the run-chase, Perera fell early, but Nissanka (100* in 52 balls, with 10 fours and five sixes), Kusal Mendis (51 in 38 balls, with six fours and a six), and Pavan Rathnayake (28* in 15 balls, with six fours) took Sri Lanka to the target with eight wickets and two overs left.
