And a solid 50 for Nissanka! he has shown his ability to accelerate greatly post reaching that milestone in his short T20I career so far. SL would need that today. Dasun Shanka also with a few lusty blows. SL: 130/4 after 17 overs

19:49 (IST)26 Feb 2022
SIX! FOUR ! SIX

Gunathilaka has got the measure of Jadeja and smashes him for two sixes and a four.  this is a small ground, so the bowlers don't have much to play with here. True pitch and Gunathilaka goes for glory with no fear.

19:36 (IST)26 Feb 2022
FOUR!

Nissanka tries to play the reverse sweep but extra bounce induced a false shot & give him a boundary towards fine leg. Didn't middle it, but got enough on it for four over the keeper's head. SL: 41/0 after 7 overs

19:31 (IST)26 Feb 2022
A disciplined start for India

End of Powerplay! With conditions favouring swing and Indian bowlers on top, the Lankans will be the happier side without any loss of wicket.  Pathum Nissanka 14* & Danushka Gunathilaka 14* are in the middle. SL: 32/0 after 6 overs

19:11 (IST)26 Feb 2022
India lose a review early!

Jasprit Bumrah doesn't get an LBW appeal his favour against Gunathilaka. Plenty of movement on offer, both ways for Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Bumrah. India will be keen to make the most of these conditions with quick strikes. SL: 6/0 in 1.4 overs

A reinvigorated India will look to pocket their second series win in as many weeks and build on the gains made from a drastic change in their batting approach in the second T20 International against Sri Lanka here on Saturday. India were forced to look in the mirror after their early exit from the T20 World Cup last year but four months later, they look a transformed unit with a bunch of youngsters being tried out in various positions and roles.

It is still early days but the Rohit Sharma-led side has already figured out the core group of players that will travel to Australia for the World Cup Down Under later this year. Young opener Ishan Kishan got a massive dose of confidence in the series opener on Thursday after his struggles against the West Indies.

Finding strike rotation tough in the preceding series, Kishan was able to overcome that weakness against the Sri Lankan bowlers besides flaunting the strokeplay he is known for in the IPL. There is no time to settle in a T20 game and India have finally realised that, allowing them to post 180 plus totals regularly.
