The second of the three T20Is between Sri Lanka and India will take place on Tuesday, July 28 at the R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo. It was pushed back by a day after all-rounder Krunal Pandya tested positive for COVID-19.
India won the first T20I comprehensively by 38 runs. Batting first they scored 164 at the loss of five wickets at the end of the innings. Prithvi Shaw was dismissed on the very first delivery of the match, but the likes of Dhawan and Samson steadied the Indian batting line-up.
Skipper Shikhar Dhawan scored a 36-ball 46 while Suryakumar Yadav hit fifty-off 34 balls. Dushmantha Chameera and Wanindu Hasaranga picked up two wickets each. While chasing the Sri Lankan batting lineup fell like a house of cards. Bhuvaneshwar Kumar took a four-wicket haul, to restrict Sri Lanka to 126 all out.
