Follow highlights of India vs Sri Lanka 2nd T20I here.
Suryakumar Yadav is all set to lead India in the second T20I against Sri Lanka at the Pallekele International Stadium on Sunday, hoping to secure his first series win as captain.
After a tough loss in the previous match, Sri Lanka will be looking to bounce back quickly. India posted a challenging total of 213 runs in their last game, with Suryakumar playing a key role by scoring a quick fifty. Despite Pathum Nissanka's impressive 79, Sri Lanka fell short by 43 runs as their middle-order struggled.
Sri Lanka will be focusing on improving their bowling performance in the upcoming match, especially hoping for more support for seamer Matheesha Pathirana, who took four wickets in the last game.
Jaiswal just nailed the sweep shot and sent the ball flying over the fence for six runs! And then he pulls off a reverse sweep, outsmarting the fielder at point and scoring another four runs. Surya follows suit with a sweep shot of his own, sending the ball straight to the boundary for four more runs.
Another wicket falls! Mendis tries to hit a big shot but ends up getting caught by Rinku at deep midwicket. And another one bites the dust! Perera pulls a short delivery straight to deep square leg where Rinku takes an easy catch.
Nissanka goes for the cut on a delivery that wasn't quite short enough. Bishnoi makes the appeal and the umpire eventually raises his finger. Sri Lanka decides to review. Ball tracking shows it hit the pad first and it's umpire's call on impact.
India (Playing XI): Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Rishabh Pant(w), Hardik Pandya, Riyan Parag, Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohammed Siraj
Sri Lanka (Playing XI): Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis(w), Kusal Perera, Kamindu Mendis, Charith Asalanka(c), Dasun Shanaka, Wanindu Hasaranga, Ramesh Mendis, Maheesh Theekshana, Matheesha Pathirana, Asitha Fernando
Suryakumar Yadav: We will look to bowl first. There is a bit of weather around and the wicket played better in the second innings. There are always areas to improve even when you win a game, you keep learning and you keep improving. Gill misses out as he woke up with a neck spasm, Samson comes in.
Charith Asalanka: We are good to bat first. We have one change, Ramesh Mendis comes in for Dilshan Madhushanka. The first three batters really well and the only concern is the line of the bowlers. It is a used pitch and hopefully spin will come into play in the later part.
Sri Lanka: Pathum Nissanka, Avishka Fernando, Kusal Mendis(w), Charith Asalanka(c), Dasun Shanaka, Kamindu Mendis, Wanindu Hasaranga, Maheesh Theekshana, Dilshan Madushanka, Matheesha Pathirana, Binura Fernando, Dinesh Chandimal, Kusal Perera, Asitha Fernando, Dunith Wellalage, Chamindu Wickramasinghe
India: Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Rishabh Pant(w), Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Siraj, Sanju Samson, Riyan Parag, Khaleel Ahmed, Shivam Dube
