IND vs SL: India have won the T20I series by 3-0 and were favorites to win the first game, but they let the game slip away from their hand. After the bowlers did a great job for India, the batters struggled to chase down a below par score of 231 runs.
India got all out for 231 and the game ended in a tie. The hosts bowled pretty well, and their spinners did the mail damage. The game which was in India’s control slipped away, which also prevented India from making history.
Now, the second IND vs SL game is scheduled to take place on Sunday at R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. This match is important, as whoever wins it will be in a good position. But India are on the verge of creating history.
IND vs SL: India are on cups of making a historic record in ODI history
Ahead of the second game, Sri Lanka suffered a major blow as star leg-spinner Wanindu Hasaranga has suffered an injury and has been ruled out of the remaining matches. That has put Sri Lanka under more pressure now. India will be strong favorites to win the second IND vs SL ODI on Sunday.
And if India can do it, it will be a historic moment, because that will be the 100th win for India over Sri Lanka in ODI cricket. Speaking of history, no team has registered 100 wins against an opponent in any format of the game. So, India have a great chance to write history with a win in the second game.

The Men in Blue might make some changes in the playing XI. Meanwhile, we might see Sri Lanka also making some forced changes due to injury. Apart from this, Rohit Sharma, who hit a sparkling half-century in the first IND vs SL game, is also knocking on the door of a big record.
The Indian captain has hit most international sixes and went past Eoin Morgan to become captain with most international sixes (234) overall. He hit three sixes in his 58-run knock in the first game.
If Rohit hits six sixes in the second game, then he will surpass Chris Gayle (331) and will become the batter with the second-most sixes in ODI cricket. He has 326 sixes so far in ODIs.
