  • Player of the Match
    Shikhar Dhawan
That wraps up the proceedings in Ranchi. The action now shifts to Vizag on 14th February for the third and final T20I of this series. Join us at 1930 IST for the same. Until then, take care and ciao!
SHIKHAR DHAWAN is the Man of the Match. He says that he enjoyed batting over here and is happy he got his first T20I fifty. Adds that he likes to play his natural game and got a lot of support from the staff and he enjoys the confidence they have in him. Further says he enjoyed his flow and thought he should keep on going and it worked.
MS DHONI says it was a high-scoring wicket. Adds that it was important to give everyone exposure so that in big tournaments they are well prepared. Further adds that it was nice to see Pandya expressing himself. Thinks they have some really good fielders because a couple of run outs or catches change the complexion of the game. Ends by saying that being a bit unorthodox in keeping does help but it all goes down to the bowlers who beat the batsman in the first place.
DINESH CHANDIMAL says the pitch looked good but credit goes to their (Indian) batters. Thinks that as a bowling unit they tried hard but ended up giving a lot of runs. Adds that on this type of track they needed variations and their bowlers need to learn that quickly. Says that Chameera has been exceptional and is a real prospect for them. Ends by saying they need to put in a lot of hard work as well as their heart and soul into the final game.
Sri Lanka started their chase on the back foot as they lost their top 3 batsmen with just 16 runs on the board. The Lankan middle order provided some resistance but the colossal total put up in front of them never really looked achievable. Ashwin picked up a 3-fer whereas Nehra,Jadeja and Bumrah chipped in with a couple of wickets each. A top notch performance from the Indians to get back on track in the series. Presentation coming up shortly.
It were the Indian openers that got their team to a flying start putting in to bat first. The middle order chipped in with handy knocks to take India close to 200. The Sri Lankan bowlers weren't up to the mark but Thisara Perera stood out with only the 4th hattrick in T20Is. Chameera was good initially but went for a lot of runs towards the end as the Indians piled up 65 runs in the final five overs.
That's a massive win for India and they are back to level the series 1-1 making the final T20I, a decider. A thumping victory for the hosts after a slight stutter in the previous game. The Indians looked a dangerous unit and performed in all the 3 departments. Sri Lanka on the other hand have a lot to discuss and resolve their issues that let them down today.

Sharma charges in from long off and almost takes a stunner diving ahead. That looked clean as a whistle in real time motion but replays show the ball bounced just before Sharma got hold of it.
                    The umpires are checking if that catch was cleanly taken.

                                  Ashish Nehra To Danushka Gunathilaka OUT!
                                  OUT! SRI LANKA 3 DOWN! Nehra strikes again to send back the opener. Good length delivery outside off, Gunathilaka goes at it with soft hands but gets a thick outside edge to that one. Dhoni takes a simple catch and Nehra is all smiles. Sri Lanka reeling at 16/3 now.

                                  Ashish Nehra To Dinesh Chandimal (C)
                                  Full and on off, Chandimal slams it straight down the ground. Yuvraj running from mid off leaves it for Pandya charging in from mid on. The latter makes a mess of it but scampers and pulls it just back in at the fence. A single saved.

                                      ASHISH NEHRA will bowl from the other end.

He was outside the crease as well and Dhoni behind the stumps was quick enough to whips the bails off in a jiffy. Well, the skipper doesn't appeal unless and until he is sure. Replays show Dilshan was spotted outside. Dilshan fails in his comeback as he goes for a golden duck. India off to a great start.
