IND vs SL: After dragging the first game to a tie, Sri Lanka have certainly pulled off a stunning win in the second IND vs SL ODI. They have stunned the No. 1 ranked ODI team in a low-scoring thriller by 32 runs to take a 1-0 unassailable lead in the three-match series.
Jeffrey Vandersay, who joined the team a day back after Wanindu Hasaranga was ruled out, didn’t let any Indian batter get away and registered his career-best figure of 6/33 in his ten overs. Despite Rohit Sharma’s onslaught early on, India found themselves at 208-run all-out.
From 97/0 to 208 all-out was once again a poor performance from the middle-order batters, and India have conceded an unexpected defeat against the Sri Lankan spin attack. India need to win the last game to save the series and their track record against Sri Lanka.
