India vs Oman: India faced Oman in the third match of their campaign, and surprisingly, the minnows gave the T20 champions a good competition. The Men in Blue set them a target of 189 runs and Oman in response managed 167/4 in 20 overs, and conceded a 21-run defeat. (AP Photo)

India played their final Super Four match against Sri Lanka, which was a high-scoring battle and was decided in Super Over. Batting first, India piled a staggering 202/5 and Sri Lanka managed the same in response. However, Arshdeep Singh's clinical effort made the Super Over a one-sided affair, which also kept India's perfect record at the tournament intact. (AP Photo)
