India vs Sri Lanka Highlights 2nd T20: Suryakumar Yadav, Axar Patel's effort goes in vain as SL beat IND by 16 runs

Rahul Tripathi takes a blinder at the deep mid-wicket position to bring an end to Pathum Nissanka's stay in the middle. The batter departs for 33(35) as Axar picks his first wicket of the night. SL: 98/3 (12 overs)

Yuzvendra Chahal concedes five singles in his over. SL: 94/2 (11 overs)

Six runs and a wicket come off Umran's over as SL reach 89/2 at the halfway stage.

Umran Malik rattles Bhanuka Rajapaksa's stumps as IND strike in quick succession. The ball was pitched at length and the batter gets an inside edge, which drags the ball back on to the stump. He falls for 2. SL: 84/2 (9.3 overs) 

Yuzvendra Chahal finally gets India a breakthrough as he traps Kusal Mendis LBW for 52 (31). It was originally given not out but India opted for the DRS. TV replay confirmed it was clear out. 

Bhanuka Rajapaksa arrives in the middle. SL: 81/1 (8.3 overs) 

Mendis is unstoppable at the moment. Umran bangs it short and the batter smashes it square of the wicket, which flies over the third man fence. With this he also completes his half-century, which come in just 27 balls. 

He then plays a beautiful drive towards cover and despite taking some part of the fielder inside the circle, the ball races to the boundary. SL: 80/0 (8 overs) 

Kusal Mendis continues his rampage and smashes Axar Patel for a six. 12 runs come from his over as SL reach 67/0 in 7 overs.

Spin introduced from both ends and it puts a brake on the brisk scoring. Yuzvendra Chahal concedes just six runs in his over as SL accumulate 55 runs for no wickets in the powerplay.

A good start by Axar as just two runs come from it. SL: 49/0 (5 overs)

Excellent piece of fielding by Rahul Tripathi as Mendis whacks it straight over the bowler, which looked like a sure boundary. However, Tripathi staitoned at mid-on, ran back and put in a superb effort to save the ball from reaching the ropes. The batters run a double.

The next delivery is driven towards covers for a boundary. 15 runs come off his over. SL: 47/0 (4 overs)

Shivam Mavi replaces Arshdeep Singh and the youngster stars with a couple of singles before Mendis hits him with a straight face down the ground for a boundary. It's a no ball. The freehit is also smashed in the same region but the timing was missing, hence it only results in a double. SL: 41/0 (3.3 overs)

Kusal Mendis continues to score briskly as he gets a top edge off Hardik Pandya's bowl, which flies over the fence behind the stumps. 

SL are on a roll here as 11 runs come in the third over. SL: 32/0 (3 overs)

The final delivery takes a leading edge of Mendis' bat and is caught, but it was a freehit. 19 runs come off the over. SL: 21/0 (2 overs)

The fourth delivery was pitched short, head height and it takes a thick edge of Nissanka's bat and lands safely before it is collected by the third man fielder. 

The next ball is a dot, and then he bowls down the leg side, which initially was wide has turned into a no as the pacer oversteps. 

Mendis smashes the freehit on the leg side, which races away for a four towards the square leg region. Meanwhile, the freehit isalso signaled no and Mendis sends it flying over the fine leg region for a six. Another no by Arshdeep as the freehit remains. SL: 20/0 (1.5 overs) 

Arshdeep Singh bowls it full and on the pads of Nissanka, which is flicked for a boundary. He recovers well and bowls consecutive dots. SL: 6/0 (1.3 overs)

Hardik Pandya is getting some bounce and slight movement. The fifth ball of the over was pitched short and it moved away from Kusal Mendis.

The final delivery was also similar. Meanwhile, just two runs come from the over. SL: 2/0 (1 over)

Hardik Pandya starts with two dots, and then bangs the third ball short, which went down the leg side but easily collected by Ishan Kishan behind the stumps. 

The players walk out in the field. Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis will open the innings for the tourists. 

Hardik Pandya leads the attack for India. 

Umran Malik had clocked 155kph on the speed gun in the previous encounter, which is so far the highest by any Indian pacer. 

Exciting to see what's instore tonight! 

Why Hardik Pandya opted to field?

“Thought that the dew might come later, and the wicket looks good and shouldn't change.” 

Sri Lanka: Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis(w), Dhananjaya de Silva, Charith Asalanka, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Dasun Shanaka(c), Wanindu Hasaranga, Chamika Karunaratne, Maheesh Theekshana, Kasun Rajitha, Dilshan Madushanka

India: Ishan Kishan(w), Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav, Rahul Tripathi, Hardik Pandya(c), Deepak Hooda, Axar Patel, Shivam Mavi, Umran Malik, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal

India make two changes as Rahul Tripathi and Arshdeep Singh comes in. Sanju Samson is injured and Harshal Patel sits out

Hardik Pandya wins toss, opts to bowl. 

"There will be carry and will help the seamers," Deep Dasgupta reckons at pitch report.

The last T20I played at this venue was against the same opponent. It was a high scoring encounter as piled over 200 and won the contest by a huge margin.
