India vs Sri Lanka 1st T20I Match

The India VS Sri Lanka 1st T20 was a nail-biter. On the 5th of January, the 2nd T20I will take place. The Indian Cricket Team leads the series by 1-0 after securing a win in the first Twenty20 international. Aar Patel bowled a good final over to get India out of a crunch situation. Also, Shivam Mavi, the debutant was really impressed with the ball. Umran Malik also broke the record for bowling the fastest delivery ever bowled by an Indian pacer. Here is a quick preview of the India VS Sri Lanka 2nd T20I:

The Indian team is looking solid. Sanju Samson has got a point to prove. The middle order was struggling big time. It was the lower middle order that held things together for the Indian Cricket Team. Axar Patel and Deepak Hooda made invaluable contributions with the bat and helped India get to a respectable total. Responsibility has to be taken by the likes of Suryakumar Yadav and Sanju Samson. The bowling department looks sorted and needs no alteration in the India VS Sri Lanka 2nd T20I.

The Sri Lankan cricket team also looked relatively sorted. There were not many flaws in the squad. The spinners did their job exceptionally well. Hasaranga spun his magic around the Indian batters. Maheesh Teekshana was good too. But just two poor deliveries and he got smacked by Deepak Hooda. Madhushanka was also good with the ball. The batters need to improve their shot selection. Chamika Karunaratne needs to be used more effectively. He is a good batter and he can bat up the order as well.
