Preview:
India and Sri Lanka will battle it out against each other in the second ODI on Tuesday, July 20. India outplayed Sri Lanka completely in the first match. Prithvi Shaw provided a flying start to the team, and further on, Shikhar Dhawan and Ishan Kishan held the fort. The team will now look to take this momentum further and register yet another win to secure a series victory.
Sri Lanka looked good with the bat initially, but soon found them pegged back. Though some hard-hitting from Chamika Karunaratne helped the team to put a competitive total on the board, they couldn’t defend it. The Lankans would have to right their wrongs to bounce back in the series.
