Abhishek Sharma, who scored a sizzling 100 in the second match, fell for 10 in this third game of the series which is being played just days after India won the T20 World Cup.
India, however, has rested nearly all regular players who featured in the marquee tournament and featured young players who are expected to take the charge of the team in future with many senior players retiring after the title triumph.
At the end of the innings, Sanju Samson scored 12 runs in seven balls to provide a finishing touch to India's innings.
