Sri Lanka scored 183/5 in their 20 overs. Talk of leading from the front. At the toss, Shanaka said he expects a brisk start and better show from the top-order. The openers did recover so nicely after a very sedate start. And then the captain took matters on his own. Came out with great intent, showed his team how to approach at this venue and made a 19-ball 47 that has injected life into this game. Is 183 enough? Knowing the true nature of the pitch, small boundaries and batters in form, it is advantage for the chasing team, but Sri Lanka at least put on a show unlike the first game. We will get to this later. Nissanka held fort. It was Gunathilaka who took on Jadeja before falling to him. Chahal, Harshal and Bumrah outsmarted the batters with their variety, but Shanaka stole the show at the death, making full use of these small boundaries. Nissanka got some smart hits away at the end. Pathum Nissanka scored 75 of 53 balls and skipper Dasun Shanaka scored 47* of 18 balls. For Team India Bhuvi, Bumrah, Chahal, Harshal and Jadeja pick 1 wicket each.
Innings Break!
Sri Lanka post a total of 183/5 on the board.#TeamIndia chase coming up shortly.

Team India chased down the target successfully by scoring 186/3 in 17.1 overs and won the game by 7 wickets. For the first 8 overs of the chase, this was a contest, turned out to be a no-contest from the moment Shreyas stamped his authority on Praveen Jayawickrama, slamming him for two back-to-back sixes. As it turned out, India coasted to an easy win, with as many as 17 balls to spare, massive considering they were chasing 184. As it happened in the first innings, there was plenty of seam and swing with the new ball, add the pace of Chameera and Kumara, India would have been excused if they thought this match was being played at the old WACA. Rohit chopped onto his stumps and then Ishan Kishan looked like a rabbit in front of sheer pace – smashed on the helmet and then gifting his wicket almost immediately. Shreyas Iyer was batting on a different pitch though, finding boundaries with ease, Sanju Samson came into his own after a rather indifferent start as he was dismissed courtesy the catch of the season by Binura, but it only opened the floodgates further with the arrival of Ravindra Jadeja. Sri Lanka’s fielding went from bad to worse, the catches didn’t stick, and the bowlers felt the heat. 56 from the first 48 balls and 130 in the next 55 balls and the chase was done in a canter Shreyas Iyer scored 74* of 44 balls and Ravindra Jadeja scored 45* of 18 balls. For Sri Lanka Lahiru Kumara pick 2 wickets for 31 runs in his 3 overs.
