Team India defeated Sri Lanka by seven wickets (DLS method) in the second T20I to seal their three-match series at Pallekele with a game to spare.


Here’s the timeline of how SL vs IND panned out in Pallekele:


SL vs IND Highlights: Nissanka, Perera Headline Lanka’s Dominant 10 Overs

Sri Lankan opener Pathum Nissanka belted 32 runs off 24 balls and shared a 26-run opening partnership with Kusal Mendis (10 off 11) before the latter was dismissed by Arshdeep Singh. Nissanka shared another 54 runs with number three Kusal Perera to take Sri Lanka to 80-1 in less than 10 overs.

The blistering opener eventually had his stay cut short by Ravi Bishnoi at the halfway stage of the innings.


SL vs IND Highlights: Perera Flogs 53 Before Bishnoi, Axar Induce Late Wickets

Kusal Perera went on to smack 53 runs from just 34 deliveries to top-score for Sri Lanka. Unfortunately for the hosts, his dismissal triggered a lower-order batting collapse as they managed to conjure just 161-9 from 20 overs.

Axar Patel picked up two wickets in the final over to claim figures of 2-30, while Ravi Bishnoi finished with 3-26 after adding two to his tally at the death. Arshdeep Singh and Hardik Pandya also claimed two wickets each in the Sri Lankan innings.


SL vs IND Highlights: India Start Well In Revised Target

Amidst constant rain interruptions, the Indian team was set a revised target of 78 from eight overs. Despite losing Sanju Samson for a first-ball duck to Maheesh Theekshana, opener Yashasvi Jaiswal smacked 30 runs from 15 balls and took India past the 50-run mark with captain Suryakumar Yadav (26 off 12 balls).


SL vs IND Highlights: Hardik Pandya Clubs Nine-Ball 22* To Take India Home

Following the dismissal of Suryakumar Yadav to Matheesha Pathirana at 51-2, Hardik Pandya arrived to the middle and smeared three boundaries and a six during his nine-ball unbeaten stay at the crease. The charismatic all-rounder scored 22* runs in all, and ensured Team India romped past the finishing line in just 6.3 overs with seven wickets to spare.

The outcome helped India take a 2-0 lead in the three-match series. The two nations will now compete in the dead-rubber at the same Pallekele venue on July 30.
