India vs Sri Lanka 2nd T20 Live Score: Hardik Pandya won the toss and opted to field. A win at Pune will help India take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the ...

India eventually won the game by 2 runs; but will he lose his place in the XI tonight? The pair added 68 runs in 35 balls, driving India to a respectable 162/5 in 20 overs. Shivam Mavi had a phenomenal outing in the first T20I, which was also his India debut. While the Indian bowlers did a decent job in the previous T20I, Yuzvendra Chahal was a rare exception. It was a high scoring encounter as piled over 200 and won the contest by a huge margin. Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis will open the innings for the tourists. Arshdeep Singh bowls it full and on the pads of Nissanka, which is flicked for a boundary. Mendis smashes the freehit on the leg side, which races away for a four towards the square leg region. The final delivery takes a leading edge of Mendis' bat and is caught, but it was a freehit. The freehit is also smashed in the same region but the timing was missing, hence it only results in a double. Excellent piece of fielding by Rahul Tripathi as Mendis whacks it straight over the bowler, which looked like a sure boundary. Spin introduced from both ends and it puts a brake on the brisk scoring.

But Axar tasted success soon when he dismissed Nissanka, caught by Tripathy. Barring Axar (2/24 from his 4 overs), all other Indian bowlers went for runs. Malik knocked off the timbers off Wanindu Hasaranga with a pacy delivery a ball later to stand in the chance of a hat-trick. The duo raised hopes of a famous victory but it was not to be as the visitors pulled the strings just in time to level the series. It was not just Theekshana, Hasaranga de Silva too had to bear the brunt of Axarโ€™s aggression as the left-hander smacked the bowler for a hat-trick of sixes in the 14th over. But Axarโ€™s dismissal in the third ball of the final over was the last nail in the coffin for India.
