India vs Sri Lanka 2nd T20I Highlights:

India vs Sri Lanka 2nd T20I Highlights: India were asked to chase a target of 78 in eight overs after a long rain delay early in their chase and they did so with aplomb. They thus sealed a seven-wicket win over Sri Lanka in the second T20I and confirmed their first series win under Gautam Gambhir as head coach and Suryakumar Yadav as the new full-time T20I captain....Read More

Suryakumar walked out all guns blazing in Pallekele as he replaced Sanju Samson, who fell for a golden duck shortly after India's chase resumed in Pallekele. Rain came down in sheets when the Indian innings was just three balls old. Yashasvi Jaiswal was dropped off the second of those deliveries ball and he then hit a four off the third. Jaiswal returned and tonked 30 runs off 15 balls while Suryakumar smashed 26 in 12. Their 39-run stand for the second wicket off 19 balls pretty much ended any chances of Sri Lanka levelling the series and Hardik Pandya then came in and emphatically finished the game off. The all-rounder smashed an unbeaten 22 in nine balls.

The Indian bowlers earlier put the breaks on Sri Lanka in the death overs, with Hardik Pandya and Ravi Bishnoi picking off the wickets. Sri Lanka ended up with a score of 161/9 in 20 overs. Kusal Perera, one of the players who fell to Pandya, led the Sri Lankan charge and scored his 14th T20I half-century in 31 balls. Arshdeep Singh had earlier got India the breakthrough by sending back Kusal Mendis in the powerplay. Ravi Bishnoi then got the wicket of the dangerous Pathum Nissanka.

India captain Suryakumar Yadav won the toss, which was delayed by about 50 minutes due to rain, and chose to bowl first. The match was scheduled to start at 7pm IST but light showers led to the match having to be delayed to 7.45pm IST. Shubman Gill, who along with Yashasvi Jaiswal had got India off to a blistering start in the first T20I, is unavailable for this game and India replaced him with u Samson.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, IND vs SL 2nd T20I: 18 runs off the 6th!

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, IND vs SL 2nd T20I: Well that wicket of Jaiswal simply doesn't matter at the end of it all for Sri Lanka. Pandya smashes the last ball of that over above cow corner for a six. India need six to win off 12 balls. This has been a walk in the park for them.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, IND vs SL 2nd T20I: SKY welcomed Pathirana with a truly spectacular shot off a low full toss on leg. SKY moved across and exposed his leg stump, then clipped it over fine leg for a six. Pathirana then comes back strong as SKY mistimes his next swing. Long on takes a simple catch. India need just 26 to win off 23 though, it is a real uphill struggle for Sri Lanka.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, IND vs SL 2nd T20I: Hat-trick of fours, India cruising

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, IND vs SL 2nd T20I: Theekshana bowling the fourth over, the first ball is full around off, SKY sweeps it mightily behind square. That almost went for six. The next ball is a full toss and SKY sweeps it again past deep square leg for four. The third is full around off, SKY tries to sweep again but he top edges it. It lands out of reach of the deep midwicket fielder and the ball spins sharply on bouncing, thus deceiving the fielder and going for a four again. Three runs off the last three balls, SKY on 20 off 10, Jaiswal on 24 off 13.

IND vs SL Live Score: India 45/1, need 33 to win from 24

Then he brings out the reverse sweep and hits the second ball past point for a four. A single and then SKY latches on to one floated up outside off, sweeps it hard to the boundary for a four. A single off the next ball and then a big appeal for LBW by Hasaranga against Jaiswal. The umpire shakes his head and Asalanka takes the review. It pitched outside leg.

Jaiswal is already all kitted up, his opening partner Samson also has his pads on and the pair are having a relaxed chat with SKY. India had scored 74 in the first six overs yesterday, this is pretty much their game to lose now./

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, IND vs SL 2nd T20I: The covers are off now

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, IND vs SL 2nd T20I: Shanaka hit Jaiswal's pads first ball, beating his attempted flick through midwicket. Jaiswal then charges down the pitch, trying to send Shanaka out of the stadium and ends up getting it off the bottom half of the bat. Two men run after it, Pathirana reached out with both hands and fell over but couldn't catch it. It is technically a drop. The batters run two and then Jaiswal sends the next ball, which is full, through cover and mid-off for a four. And then came the rain.

Jul 28, 2024, 21:53:01 IST

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, IND vs SL 2nd T20I: The showers have stopped

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, IND vs SL 2nd T20I: Well restart seems imminent. That was all quite strange. It poured so heavily that match seemed to be done. And now its as clear as, well, a clear night. The ground staff preparing to pull those extensive covers off.

Jul 28, 2024, 21:36:44 IST

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, IND vs SL 2nd T20I: RAINS! It has started pouring suddenly

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, IND vs SL 2nd T20I: Oh the players run off the field and the ground staff hurry on with the covers in tow. Just three balls into the first over and we have an interruption. It looks like the players could be off the field for a while as well. It is coming down in sheets in Pallekele. The three balls that have been bowled were quite eventful though, and we will get down to describing them for you in a moment. For now, Jaiswal has faced all the deliveries and he is on six runs.

Jul 28, 2024, 21:34:51 IST

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, IND vs SL 2nd T20I: Now for the Indian chase

A very interesting innings really and Sri Lanka know that they have every chance to draw level in this series if they keep their eyes on the money.

Perera goes flat and hard towards Rinku at deep square leg but it is dying on him. Rinku keeps his eye on it though and takes the low catch. Pandya gives Perera a little dead-eyed stare as he walks back.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, IND vs SL 2nd T20I: OUT! Wicket out of nowhere for Bishnoi

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, IND vs SL 2nd T20I: Well there was hardly an appeal from the Indians and the umpire raised his finger. The batter reviewed and the Indians seemed to be just as surprised as him. Quick googly from Bishnoi, it comes in and pings Nissanka's back pad. Pant made a half shout before running off to collect the ball, Bishnoi didn't even appeal and was looking here and there to see if it is worth reviewing and in between all that, the umpire just raised his finger. It is umpire's call on impact. Incredible call there from Palliyaguruge.

India vs. Sri Lanka Live Score, IND vs. SL 2nd T20I: Arshdeep starts off with a wide as well but then follows that up with a good length delivery on the middle.

Mendis then sends the last ball over mid-on to the boundary for a four, and that makes it eight off the over.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, IND vs SL 2nd T20I: Rishabh Pant's troubles

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, IND vs SL 2nd T20I: Rishabh Pant maybe the first choice wicketkeeper but no position can be taken for granted in Indian cricket. He had scored 49 off 33, struggling to connect for much of his innings. This comes after a tail off in his performances in the T20 World Cup after he had made a good start. There is the belligerent Sanju Samson waiting in the wings and so Pant would be very much on his toes.

Jul 28, 2024, 18:54:11 IST

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, IND vs SL 2nd T20I: The outfield covers have been taken off as well. The square and the pitch remain covered but it does look like the ground staff is preparing to take them off as well. All looking good so far.

Jul 28, 2024, 18:31:55 IST

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, IND vs SL 2nd T20I: TOSS DELAYED DUE TO RAIN!

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, IND vs SL 2nd T20I: Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill smashed 11 fours and three sixes between them. There was no respite for Sri Lanka as both batters made the most of any loose deliveries they got, and they got a lot of those.

Jul 28, 2024, 17:32:07 IST

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, IND vs SL 2nd T20I: Nissanka vs Axar

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, IND vs SL 2nd T20I: Axar Patel ending Pathum Nissanka's innings was one of the turning points of the match yesterday.

Jul 28, 2024, 17:08:00 IST

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, IND vs SL 2nd T20I: Siraj has the wood on Mendis

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, IND vs SL 2nd T20I: Kusal Mendis may have fallen to Arshdeep Singh in the last match but it is Mohammed Siraj who has been his chief tormentor. Before yesterday, the Sri Lankan opener had been dismissed four times in 29 deliveries from Siraj. He faced just three balls from the pacer in the first T20I and came away unscathed, but Siraj will be gunning for another face-off on Sunday.
