In the first innings of the match, Sri Lanka kept on losing wickets after Asalanka’s dismissal, until skipper Dasun Shanaka walked out in the 15th over. The skipper remained unbeaten on 47 runs off 19 balls and took the team’s score to 183/5 in 20 overs. Lankan opener Pathum Nissanka also contributed with 75 runs off 53 balls; however, India’s stellar finish to the game overshadowed the visitors.
In response, Shreyas Iyer led India’s chase with an unbeaten 74 with support from Sanju Samson and Ravindra Jadeja to seal the chase. The Men in Blue sealed the win inside 18 overs, to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series, as they head into the final game at Dharamshala on Sunday.
