After 7 overs,Sri Lanka 41/0 ( Pathum Nissanka 21 , Danushka Gunathilaka 16)
Spin from both ends now as Ravindra Jadeja replaces Harshal Patel. Nissanka collects a brace off the second delivery, before collecting a boundary two balls later — the result of a thick top-edge while attempting a reverse scoop. Sharp fielding by Hooda at deep extra cover in the last ball to restrict Gunathilaka to a brace. Nine from Jadeja’s first over.
After 6 overs,Sri Lanka 32/0 ( Pathum Nissanka 14 , Danushka Gunathilaka 14)
Yuzvendra Chahal introduced in the last over of the powerplay. Nissanka welcomes him with a well-timed cut through point, collecting a boundary. Single off each of the next three deliveries, followed by a dot off each of the last two. Seven from the over. Sri Lanka off to a decent start so far.
After 5 overs,Sri Lanka 25/0 ( Pathum Nissanka 8 , Danushka Gunathilaka 13)
First bowling change of the innings, with Harshal Patel replacing Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Expensive start for the seamer as both Gunathilaka and Nissanka collecting a boundary each, with 10 coming from the over.
After 4 overs,Sri Lanka 15/0 ( Pathum Nissanka 3 , Danushka Gunathilaka 8)
Superb over from Bumrah, one in which he challenges Nissanka with a pinpoint yorker in the third delivery while switching to a slower delivery later in the final ball of the over. Just two from the over. Bumrah’s bowling quite the powerplay spell at the moment.
After 3 overs,Sri Lanka 13/0 ( Pathum Nissanka 2 , Danushka Gunathilaka 7)
FOUR! First boundary of the innings, Gunathilaka leaning into the wide, overpitched delivery from Bhuvi and caressing the ball through the covers. Non-striker Nissanka, meanwhile, is sent back after running a few steps in the third delivery. Deepak Hooda collects the ball at cover, and decides against having a shy at the non-striker’s stumps, perhaps because there was no backup at the other end. Single collected off each of the last two balls.
After 2 overs,Sri Lanka 7/0 ( Pathum Nissanka 1 , Danushka Gunathilaka 2)
Jasprit Bumrah steams in from the other end, and starts off with a couple of wides. Big appeal for LBW in the third delivery, an attempted yorker hitting Gunathilaka low on the pad while angling in. Bumrah convinces Rohit to take this upstairs after it is turned down by the umpire, and HawkEye confirms impact outside leg. Couple of leg byes added to the score in that delivery too. Gunathilaka collects a single off the last ball.
After 1 over,Sri Lanka 4/0 ( Pathum Nissanka 1 , Danushka Gunathilaka 1)
Bhuvneshwar Kumar starts off with the new ball in hand, getting some movement right away. He’s off to a steady start, with just two runs coming from it as Nissanka and Gunathilaka collect a single each.
Pathum Nissanka and Danushka Gunathilaka walk out to open the innings, with Bhuvneshwar Kumar set to bowl the first over of the evening. Strong start needed from the openers if the Lankans are to keep their series hopes alive.
Sri Lanka XI: Pathum Nissanka, Kamil Mishara, Charith Asalanka, Danushka Gunathilaka, Dinesh Chandimal (wk), Dasun Shanaka (c), Chamika Karunaratne, Dushmantha Chameera, Praveen Jayawickrama, Binura Fernando, Lahiru Kumara
India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, 2nd T20I in Dharamsala: Spin from both ends now as Ravindra Jadeja replaces Harshal Patel. Nissanka collects a brace off the second delivery, before collecting a boundary two balls later — the result of a thick top-edge while attempting a reverse scoop. Sharp fielding by Hooda at deep extra cover in the last ball to restrict Gunathilaka to a brace. Nine from Jadeja’s first over.
Preview: India will look to wrap the three-match T20I series on Saturday with a win over Sri Lanka in the second match at Dharamshala. The Rohit Sharma-led side won the first match by 62 runs.
India have been on a 10-match winning streak and a victory on Saturday will complete a second T20I series win for the side in as many weeks. It has been a terrific turnaround for Men in Blue who failed to dazzle at the 2021 T20 World Cup just a few months ago, making an early exit from the mega event.
Since then India's focus has been on plugging the glaring holes in the side and the recent results have been proof that the team is moving in the right direction. Suryakumar Yadav and Venkatesh Iyer excelled in their middle-order batter roles during the West Indies T20I series. Ravi Bishnoi made an impressive foray into international cricket besides players like Harshal Patel and Deepak Chahar impressing with their pace bowling.
The Sri Lanka series is also another opportunity for India to improve their squad before the 2022 T20 World Cup. In the first T20I, Ishan Kishan scored a quick-fire 89 off 56 after having a subdued performance against West Indies and that's great news for Team India. They will hope for another cracking performance from the opener.
Shreyas Iyer scored 57 not out from No 3 in first T20I and that innings has strengthened his case. All-rounder Deepak Hooda didn't get to bat in the first match and returned with figures of 0/24 from his three overs. He will look to better his performance in the second match as he aims to become an India regular. Sanju Samson didn't get a chance to bat in the first match and he will hope for some time in the middle with the bat as India look to finalise their core for the upcoming World Cup.
Sri Lanka on the other hand will have to play their best to stop India's winning steak. They have not been at their best in the absence of frontline spinners Maheesh Theekshana and Wanindu Hasaranga.
