IND vs SL 2nd ODI: Sri Lanka Ends 3-Year Drought, Crushes India by 32 Runs; Virat, Rahul, Iyer Fail | Jeffrey Vandersay Stars with 6 Wickets

IND vs SL 2nd ODI: Sri Lanka defeated India by 32 runs. Host Sri Lanka has now taken a 1-0 lead in the three-match ODI series.

IND vs SL 2nd ODI: Sri Lanka defeated India by 32 runs in the second ODI. Team India got a good start like the first match of the series, but due to the failure of middle order batting, the team had to face this defeat. The Sri Lankan team has been able to defeat India in an ODI match after almost 3 years. Talking about Indian middle order batting, Shivam Dubey and KL Rahul were out on zero, while Shreyas Iyer also could not touch the double digit mark in terms of runs. Jeffery Vandersan proved to be the most effective bowler for the host Sri Lanka, who took a total of 6 wickets.

Sri Lanka, playing first, had put 240 runs on the scoreboard. When India came out to chase the target, Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill gave the team a great start. There was an opening partnership of 97 runs between the two and in the meantime captain Rohit completed his fifty in 29 balls. Rohit scored 64 runs in 44 balls in his innings, during which he also hit 5 fours and 4 sixes. On the other hand, Gill contributed 35 runs. After their 97-run partnership, the fall of wickets started.

India crumbled in the run chase: 6 wickets lost within 50 runs

At one point, the Indian team had scored 97 runs without losing any wicket, but after Rohit Sharma‘s wicket fell, batsmen kept coming and going. Gill also left shortly after the captain. Dubey returned to the pavilion in four balls without scoring any run. Virat Kohli got a lifeline on the score of 11 runs, but he was out after scoring 14 runs i.e. 3 runs. Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul were out on 7 runs and zero respectively. In this way, India’s score from 97 runs without losing any wicket became 147 for 6 wickets. Team India was in trouble after losing 6 wickets within 50 runs. Akshar Patel certainly played an innings of 44 runs, but he too could not delay India’s defeat for long.

Sri Lanka defeated India after 3 years

Sri Lanka’s last win over India in an ODI match was in July 2021. Sri Lanka had defeated Team India by 3 wickets at that time. At the same time, this time India has suffered a crushing defeat by 32 runs. Apart from this, if we talk about the series, Sri Lanka last defeated Team India in an ODI series in 1997. If Sri Lanka wins the last match of this series, then it will get victory in an ODI series against India after 27 years.
