On a slow, turning surface, off-spinner Phillips was instrumental in getting opener Pathum Nissanka, who had batted through for 52 from 51 balls, caught at long-on with the second delivery. The hosts needed just eight runs from the last over.
After Sri Lanka got a single, Maheesh Theekshana was caught off the penultimate delivery with six runs required, and Matheesha Pathirana was dismissed for a golden duck on the following ball.
