00:00Welcome to the highlights of the 2nd T20 International between Sri Lanka and India, once again at
00:19the Palakkale International Stadium.
00:20I was out in the middle a little earlier with both captains, the coin went in the air.
00:27Just wonder whether this is a crucial toss with the weather about, whether we'll get
00:30a bit of rain later.
00:31It was Suryakumar Yadav who won the toss and decided to bowl first and Fadiz Mahroof, this
00:39is your side with one change.
00:41Not surprisingly, Hughes Pinch and Ramesh Mendes have had a decent LPL gets a go, means
00:48that the batting will go up to number 8.
00:50That's something that Sri Lanka will be happy as.
00:54Sri Lanka don't have an all-spinner, not even in the top order, it's definitely a good choice
00:58for me.
00:59Yeah, Tikshana batting at 8, it's a little bit of a nosebleed for her, not sure she's
01:02been that high for a long time.
01:04Abhinav Mukund, India, the winners last night, full of confidence.
01:07Yeah, good evening gentlemen, just a one change for India, a forced one, the vice-captain
01:12of this team, Shukman Gill, misses out due to a neck spasm, Sanju Samson, right now slotted
01:17in at the top of the order, so he might open the batting with Yashaswi Jaiswal, otherwise
01:22it looks the same sight for India from last evening.
01:29It will be Kusala Mendes, very good strike rate, average of 25, those numbers could go
01:35up a little, he needs to continue to score runs at the top, the top three did a great
01:40job as I mentioned, and if they can do the same again, put some pressure on the Indians
01:45with the runs on the board.
01:48Both captains mixing and matching in the power play, and Patum Nisanker had strike
01:58rate going up after his fabulous innings yesterday.
02:04Gets worth and punishes it, Nisanker continues as he did last night, beautiful boundary to
02:11get us going.
02:12It's gone fine too, nobody there, this is a good start for Sri Lanka.
02:23Gone over the onside, picked up beautifully.
02:28Picked up once more, how's the outfield with the rain?
02:33Still lightning quick, that will run away for a boundary.
02:37Oh this could be out, could be out, he's quick, Bishnoi takes the catch, that will
02:45be the first wicket, a loose stroke from Kusala Mendes.
02:51Slower delivery, good lengths getting on to the bat, turning or gripping just a bit away,
02:57would have been better off going through the offside, nevertheless a good catch by Bishnoi
03:03at mid-on.
03:04Kusala Mendes, gone for 10, Sri Lanka 26 for 1.
03:12It's gone fine, will get his innings underway with a boundary.
03:20Nice, swivels all the way she goes, nothing scratchy about that one.
03:25Slower ball, and that swivel, almost Jair Suria-esque, beautiful, gets full.
03:37Thumped down the ground, that's 4, 6 and a 4.
03:45Gets it through, gets it through, very similar to yesterday.
03:51Again punched away, slower this time through the air, not getting too much turn, a hit
03:58knee ball.
04:04Timing, great timing, what a shot that was.
04:13That's better, that's better, that's 4 as well, good finish.
04:18That's better, that's 4 as well, good finish to the over.
04:24Long hop, tucked away nicely behind square, another boundary for Nisankar.
04:35As a keeper yourself Sabha.
04:37Oh that's given, anti-climax in the end, but he's been on the money, Ruchira Palliyaguruge
04:44today, he's referred it to the third umpire.
05:07What a decision, even though the impact was umpire's call, he held his ground.
05:12Quantum Nisankar goes for 32, Sri Lanka 80 for 2 now.
05:24Kamindu Mendes gets off the mark of his 6th delivery, a boundary after almost 12 or 13
05:29deliveries.
05:33This one was slower, and it goes into the vacant spaces, boundary to end the 12th over.
05:42Another drop kick into a vacant area, skips away 4 more.
05:51Down the ground, lovely hit, couple of bounces, Rinku Singh teased again.
05:57Picked up, in the gap, no, oh, goes on the way, Rinku Singh takes the catch and slides
06:10on to the Toblerones and gets 6, and that's 50 for Kushal Varera.
06:16He judges this really well, he gets to it, but then, but then, his feet go from underneath
06:26him, so that'll be 6.
06:29It was that second step, wasn't it, Russell, when he was trying to stabilise, the shoe,
06:35he landed on the side of his shoe, and that took him right through to the Toblerone.
06:41Sweep shot, which will bring up the 50 partnership between the two.
06:46It is the end of the over, Sri Lanka are 130 for 2, in a strong position.
07:11Picked up, Rinku Singh, no mistake, he'll be relieved, India relieved as they get the
07:28breakthrough.
07:33Takes him on, but only to find Rinku Singh there, 5 yards inside the boundary line, to
07:39take a simple catch.
07:42Sri Lanka have been picked back, they are 130 for 3, Kamindu Mende scores for 26.
07:51He's hit it well, hit it nicely, he's hit it all the way.
07:57I thought he was trying to bowl a bouncer, the length was okay, but height in a slow
08:02pitch, you know, asking for trouble, a player like Charita Salang, who's very good through
08:06mid wicket, long on, square leg against fast bowlers.
08:13Hit hard, Rinku, brilliant, he's picked it up inches from the ground.
08:19Just lost a wicket, don't want to lose another one in the matter of an over, that's exactly
08:23what's happened.
08:26Was there to be hit, could have been hit in the gap, but he decided to hit it in the air
08:31and Rinku Singh cleaning up there, Hardik Pandya, effective as ever.
08:36Prasad Perera goes for a well made 53, Sri Lanka are 139 for 4.
08:44Oh, he's chopped him on, he's picked up another.
08:48Was run out yesterday without facing a ball, and today chops one on to the stumps.
08:57Dasun Chanaka goes for a first ball duck, Sri Lanka 140 for 5.
09:01And it's picked up again, terrible shot first ball.
09:09They know how to tighten the screws, Sky getting in Ravi Bishno at the right time, picks up
09:14a second wicket and it's over.
09:16After Chanaka is Hassaranga, and out goes Hassaranga for a duck here for Hassaranga
09:23as well, it's 140 for 6.
09:25No timing, should be another catch in the outfield, and it is, safe hands.
09:31Sanju Samson takes the catch and it goes from bad to worse for Sri Lanka.
09:36Whenever the Indian bowlers or the Indian team has been under pressure, it's the bowlers
09:40who have done the job for them.
09:42First the spinners and then, this is Harshdeep Singh, it's 151 for 7, this time it's the
09:48skipper, out for 4.
09:49Picked him up, picked him up, brilliant bowling.
09:56And this is what Akshar Patel can do, he keeps coming back at you, doesn't give you too much
10:00of space, although the batter was trying to create that, deceptive in there, off the wicket
10:05it's quite quick.
10:07Gets another wicket this time, it's Thikshana, goes for a second wicket, and it's over.
10:12Oh, what a shot that is!
10:15That is high wired and into the crowd for 6.
10:19This is something they would take after the procession that followed.
10:23Ramesh Mendes comes in, plays across the line but gets full connection.
10:29And this is what Akshar Patel can do, he keeps coming back at you, doesn't give you too much
10:34of space, although the batter was trying to create that, deceptive in there, off the wicket
10:38it's quite quick.
10:39Comes across the line but gets full connection.
10:47Rishabh Pant with the safe hands, Akshar Patel gets another wicket.
10:52That says the story, it should have been a 190-200, the ball was turning, yes, but they
10:57laid the platform unfortunately, they couldn't capitalise on it.
11:01Two nights in a row, the same story for the middle order of Sri Lanka.
11:06Great comeback from India.
11:09Fabulous last phase for India.
11:12They will be confident they can get the total, 162 it is, just over 8 runs in over.
11:23Yashash Vijayaswal, strike rate 165 and a very good average.
11:29He gets an opportunity, Sanju Samson.
11:36He doesn't wait.
11:37Mathishapathi Rana, he's gone dizzy.
11:43Tough one.
11:48Slow ball attempted by Dasun Shanaka, straight down the ground, was attacked by Jaiswal.
11:53This is something India will do, with the new ball, to put the pressure on the bowler
11:57straight on and that didn't even get a fingertip.
12:00Four.
12:02Misfield by the captain.
12:04Adds salt to the wound there.
12:08And the match will pause here.
12:11Oh, it's come from everywhere.
12:14It surprised everyone.
12:15Usually the ground staff are ready, they know when it's coming.
12:20And now when it starts raining like this and the wind blows, it is a challenge to get the
12:25covers on.
12:26It is a challenge to get the covers on.
12:28They are very, very heavy.
12:32Jeez, that came down in a rush.
12:37We are going to play.
12:38This is the target.
12:39India need another 72 runs of 45 balls.
12:43Their target 78 in 8 overs.
12:46Janashree Jaiswal, he said, striker the 3 balls bowled so far.
12:526 runs.
12:53These are the revised playing conditions.
12:56Target 78 of 8 overs.
12:58Power play, 2 overs.
13:004 bowlers can bowl a maximum of 2 overs.
13:03Target 78 of 8 overs.
13:05Power play, 2 overs.
13:074 bowlers can bowl a maximum of 2 overs.
13:19Dasun Shanaka to complete the over that he did start a while ago.
13:26He's picked that up.
13:28In the gap.
13:29Will it skip away?
13:30Yes, it will.
13:31Starts off with a 4.
13:33No side is needed for Jaiswal.
13:35Sri Lanka's other bowling options are Sita Fernando, Devasa Ranga and Ramesh Mendis as well.
13:43Bowled.
13:44Of course, ball done.
13:47Just the start.
13:48Dikshana needed.
13:51Sanju Samson.
13:55It's that Karim ball.
13:56It is skidded through.
13:57No feet movement.
13:59Only the hands.
14:01Beaten all ends up.
14:03Sanju Samson goes.
14:05First ball.
14:08It's an important wicket this for Sri Lanka.
14:10Gets some momentum back in the game.
14:12Sanju goes for a blob.
14:14India are 12 for 1.
14:18Oh, that went the other way.
14:22Brilliant from Dikshana.
14:25Spread all things up.
14:26Suryakumar Yadav.
14:28Oh, almost took the off bail.
14:30Brilliant start by Mahesh Dikshana.
14:33No!
14:35Two runs and a wicket.
14:3614 for 1 after two.
15:03Apesh.
15:06Safe.
15:07One bounce for four.
15:11Oh, he signalled it as six.
15:14Pretty sure we'll have to have another.
15:15Look at that.
15:17Said not be able to read it.
15:19But I think the sweep shot really well.
15:21And he plays it exceptionally well.
15:23Definitely goes over the Toblerone.
15:25That will be six for Yashaswi.
15:28Flat hit.
15:29Goes all the way.
15:30Now where will he go, Jaiswal?
15:34He goes the other way.
15:35He's hit it hard.
15:36Patum Nisanka gives up the chase.
15:39The conditions are very different from yesterday.
15:41It was a dry day yesterday and today with the rain.
15:47In the gap.
15:48Split the field perfectly.
15:51Wow.
15:53They've come out playing their shots.
15:55No backward step at all.
15:57Oh, they've asked for it.
15:58They've asked for it.
15:59Pitching outside leg stump, I would think.
16:02Rambukwela says no.
16:04Asaranga loves a referral.
16:10And he's taken one indeed.
16:14Ball tracking coming up.
16:15What is the decision?
16:16He's not out.
16:17Pitching outside leg.
16:19Give me the on-field umpire, please.
16:21Brigitte, you can stay on the umpire.
16:22You can stay on the umpire.
16:23You can stay on the umpire.

16:44You can stay on the umpire.
16:46Full toss.
16:47He hits it to where the fielder was the previous delivery.
16:51He was placed finer.
16:56Top edge.
16:57Top edge.
16:58But no fielder there.
17:00Skips away.
17:01Patun Nisankar fails to knock it back into play.
17:04Three boundaries on the trot.
17:0933 needed from 24 balls.
17:11This partnership has been exciting.
17:1333 from only 17.
17:20Treatment dished out from Surya Kumar Yadav.
17:23His area.
17:25And he owns it.
17:27That's it.
17:28Brings up the 50 for India.
17:32I'm sure there will be a little bit of reverse with that action.
17:36If there is any, he'll get it.
17:39Just waited beautifully.
17:40And that is his main scoring zone.
17:44In the air.
17:45Opportunity.
17:46Opportunity.
17:48Shanaka makes no mistake.
17:51Matisha Patirana has his man.
17:55But you fear if it's too late.
17:57Patirana has got the skipper once again.
18:02A deceased Surya Kumar Yadav was trying to go over mid-off.
18:05Does not connect well.
18:07The deception again working quite well for Patirana.
18:11And yes, I think Sri Lanka did an error there.
18:13They should have brought him on.
18:15Quite early in this rain-affected game.
18:1951 for 2 now.
18:21The captain goes back for 26.
18:25The ball that's really turning, though, is the one that's
18:27hardest to hit.
18:29The quicker you bowl, it just skids straight on.
18:35And the same treatment dished out from Surya Kumar Yadav.
18:39And the same treatment dished out by Hardik Pandya.
18:42Picking up where his skipper left off.
18:45Another boundary for India.
18:52Well, he steps out.
18:54And he clears the fence comfortably.
18:57India now getting closer and closer to their target.
19:00Jaiswal again with the beauty of a cameo.
19:04And this time, lovely footwork from Jaiswal.
19:06He goes over the top and he goes big.
19:1227 runs in 1.3 overs.
19:16Is that a breakthrough?
19:19Taken nicely.
19:21His second catch, Dasun Shanaka.
19:23It was a short ball.
19:25Asking to be hit, but he finds the fielder, Jaiswal.
19:30That's right.
19:33That's a very good catch on the boundary.
19:35But the innings of Yashaswi Jaiswal is exactly what his team needed.
19:3930 off 14.
19:4115 with that delivery for the dismissal.
19:46He has done the job for his team once again as the opening batsman.
19:52Pretty much securing the victory.
19:5413 off 14 needed.
19:56Jaiswal goes for 30, 65-3.
20:02This one connects well and it's out of here.
20:07It's got status.
20:10Already enjoyed that shot.
20:12That's massive, that six. Right up.
20:16High up into the crowd.
20:19Will Hardik Pandya finish it in one go?
20:23He's going for it.
20:25Misses the fielder.
20:27He wants to get home in a hurry.
20:29Just one needed for India.
20:33And that's it.
20:35Hardik Pandya finishes it off for India.
20:38In a new era.
20:40Where Surya Kumar Yadav
20:42is named full-time captain.
20:44Gautam Gambhir at the helm as coach.
20:47Surya mentioned it's the same train.
20:49The engines just changed.
20:51And that's exactly what India have done.
20:58Surya Kumar Yadav, Yashaswi Jaiswal.
21:02Hardik Pandya.
21:04And this is exactly
21:06what India were looking at
21:08when they came here on the shows of Sri Lanka.
21:12CT20I is sealing it with style
21:14in the second game itself.
21:17Under a new reign.
21:19And a new captain.
21:21It's the same story for India.
21:23The world champions showing why
21:25they're the number one team in the world.
21:29And that's confirmation.
21:32161 for 9 after 20 overs.
21:35And the reign came in
21:37after 3 balls of the India innings.
21:4178 was the revised target
21:43which India got home comfortably
21:45in the end.
21:47Jaiswal, 30 of 15.
21:49Surya Kumar, 26 of 12.
21:51And Hardik, 22,
21:53not out of just 9 deliveries.
21:57Ravi Vishnoy was the star earlier on.
21:593 for 26 for him.
22:014 wickets apiece for Hardik, Arshdeep
22:03and Aksar.
22:05And in the end, India win by 7 wickets
22:07and lead the series 2-0.
