India Lead The T20 Series vs Sri Lanka After Win The 2nd Match

India defeated Sri Lanka by seven wickets in the rain-affected second T20 International to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series. Now the Sri Lankan team will try to save its honor in the third match to be held on 30th July. India scored 43 runs in the first match held on the 27th of July. Talking about today’s match, India won the toss and bowled first and restricted Sri Lanka to 161 runs for nine wickets. Later, when they came to chase the target, the match had to be stopped after three balls due to heavy rain. When the match resumed after the weather improved and the field dried, India got a revised target of 72 runs in 45 balls, which India did not face much difficulty in achieving.
