After the first match getting abandoned without a ball being played to winning the second T20I in Indore, India will look to clinch the series against Sri Lanka in the third and final clash in Pune.
In the second T20I, the young Indian lads like pacer Navdeep Saini and Shardul Thakur made sure to give India the desired result with the ball.
Team India's bowling attack was too much for the visitors as Sri Lanka finished on 142/9 from 20 overs. In chase of 143, KL Rahul and Shikhar Dhawan gave India a flying start.
Virat Kohli even promoted Shreyas Iyer to bat at No. 3 who himself came to bat at No. 4.
Kohli and Iyer formed a quick partnership and kept raining hell but soon Iyer was dismissed and Rishabh Pant came in. The Indian skipper finished the match in style by bringing up the winning runs with a sixer as India cruised to a 7-wicket win in 17.3 overs.
Now all focus will be on the final clash.
