Back-to-back victories in the T20I games saw India take a 2-0 lead in the three-match T20I series against Sri Lanka. The two sides had played two matches against each other so far where India won both the games. In the first match, India won by 62 runs, while in the second, the host nation defeated Sri Lanka by 7 wickets.
The second game saw India opt to bowl on winning the toss. Sri Lanka had gotten off to a great start but slowly suffered a mini-collapse. Dasun Shanaka's 19-ball 47 along with Pathum Nissanka's 75 runs at the top and Danushka Gunathilaka's 38 runs had helped Sri Lanka post 183 runs on the board. Talking about Indian bowlers, each of the 5 had picked a wicket.
Coming to chase, India lost both their openers early. But Shreyas Iyer and Sanju Samson took control again and piled up an 84-run partnership for the third wicket. Ravindra Jadeja's cameo of 18-ball 45 was the icing on the cake that helped India win the match in the 18th over itself.
Iyer contributed 74 runs while Samson scored 38 runs. Fro Sri Lanka, Lahiru Kumara had picked 2 wickets while Chameera picked one.
