Premadasa Stadium, Colombo [X]
After a nail-biting first ODI between India and Sri Lanka, the second game of the series is set to take place on Sunday at the R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo.
An Indian victory was eminent when they needed just 231 to win the contest. However, an inspired bowling performance by the Sri Lankan side made the match interesting. At one stage, India needed just a solitary run from 14 deliveries, with two wickets in hand.
However, skipper Charith Asalanka got back-to-back wickets and forced a tie game and India will be disappointed with how things panned out.
The two teams need to forget the last match and move ahead towards the second game, as they'll look to take a lead in the series.
