IND vs SL 2nd T20I Live Score Updates: Wow!! Risk pays off

 

Four!! This was as risky as it gets as the Sri Lanka skipper got outside the off stump and played the yorker on the middle stump past the wicket-keeper for a four 

 

8:30 PM

IND vs SL 2nd T20I Live Score Updates: Brilliant over for Sri Lanka

 

Six!! It was wide outside off and Shanaka went for the big shot and git it just over Yuzvendra Chahal at the deep backward point to collect a six for himself. Lucky for him, it was a no-ball and he got a free hit next ball

 

Free Hit!! A good ball by Umran as he concedes only a single on this ball. 21 runs come off this over

IND vs SL 2nd T20I Live Score Updates: Shanaka shreds the hat-trick threat apart

 

Dasun Shanaka has shred apart the threat of conceding a hat-trick to Umran Malik as he has hit a four on the full ball and a six on the short one to gain 10 off the first two balls and take Sri Lanka past 150 

 

8:25 PM

IND vs SL 2nd T20I Live Score Updates: Three overs remaining, Sri Lanka eye 180

 

The Sri Lankan team, even after losing wickets at regular intervals post the 80 runs opening partnership, has reached 147-6 with three overs to go. They would want at least 30 runs off the last three overs to get as close to 180 as possible. 

 

8:19 PM

IND vs SL 2nd T20I Live Score Updates: Umran bamboozles Hasaranga

 

Wicket!! Umran Malik is on fire as a really quick ball by him has bamboozled Wanindu Hasarnag on the very first ball that he faced. He tried to get in line of the ball but it was futile because by the time he realised that, the ball was already through his defences and hitting the timber. 

 

8:17 PM

IND vs SL 2nd T20I Live Score Updates: Not this time, Gill takes the catch, and Asalanka is out

 

Wicket!! It was once again a heavy ball by Umran Malik and once again Asalanka went for the pull shot and once again it reached Shubman Gill but this time around there was no need to time the jump or anything as he just pouched it standing on his feet

 

8:14 PM

IND vs SL 2nd T20I Live Score Updates: Just over the ropes

 

It was a short ball by Umaran Malik and Asalanka went for the pull and just about connected it to get over Shubman Gill at deep mid-wicket and get a six for his side. 

 

8:10 PM

IND vs SL 2nd T20I Live Score Updates: Back-to-back sixes by Asalanka

 

Charith Asalanka recognised the two leg spinners and hit it with the spin and over deep mid-wicket for two beautiful maximums. This is the pair, Shanaka and Asalanka who would have to get Sri Lanka past 180 to make a match out of it 

 

8:06 PM

IND vs SL 2nd T20I Live Score Updates: De Silva disappoints

 

Once again, Dhananjaya de Silva has squandered an opportunity and lost his wicket playing a nothing shot. He hit that shot with one arm coming off the bat and Sri Lanka are now four down with more than six overs to go. And just as I type this, there seems to be another wicket down and it is a runout. It’s almost hara-kiri the Lankans

 

8:01 PM

IND vs SL 2nd T20I Live Score Updates: Asalanka with a brilliant six

 

While we were talking about Lankan batters taking time to settle down, Charith Asalanka said, why don’t you wait a bit? He played a length ball from Shivam Mavi on the up and hit it over deep mid-wicket for one of the brilliant sixes hit tonight so far. 

 

7:59 PM

IND vs SL 2nd T20I Live Score Updates: India sinking Sri Lanka ship after a great start

 

12 overs have passed now. In the first 8 overs, Sri Lanka made 80 runs without any loss. But in the last four overs, they have lost three wickets and have scored just 18 runs. Both the set batters are out and two new men in Charith Asalanka and Dhananjaya de Silva are in the middle. They would take time to settle down and that’s how India will go through the overs quickly 

 

7:56 PM

IND vs SL 2nd T20I Live Score Updates: Blinder by Tripathi sends Nissanka back

Rahul Tripathi keeps delighting the crowd as he has taken a blinder to dismiss a set Nissanka who has to walk back on 33 which came off 35 balls. It was short and there to be pulled and pull he did, but Tripathi, running from deep mid-wicket, caught the ball at long-leg and India have the third scalp even before Sri Lanka could reach 100 runs. Axar Patel has a wicket. 

 

7:53 PM

IND vs SL 2nd T20I Live Score Updates: Nissanka survives

 

Nissanka gets a chance or a four stopped by Chahal! This is always the debate when a great shot is in the air and the bowler gets the hand to it. Nevertheless, Nissanka survives and only five come off the Chahal over. 

 

7:50 PM

IND vs SL 2nd T20I Live Score Updates: Umran Malik hurrying batters with his pace

7:44 PM

IND vs SL 2nd T20I Live Score Updates: Sri Lanka losing the plot, Rajapaksa fails

 

Umran Mailk and his super-fast deliveries have finally been delivered as he runs through Bhanuka Rajapaksa’s defences and hit the timber behind the Sri Lankan batter to keep his miserable form intact. Now Sri Lanka have lost back-to-back wickets and India are coming back inti the game big time.
