Today, on January 5th, India will play Sri Lanka in the second T20I of the three-match series
Today, on January 5th, India will play Sri Lanka in the second T20I of the three-match series. The game at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium might determine the fate of the T20 series. After an entertaining start in Mumbai, the hosts will strive to win the tie in Pune. The Lankans, on the other hand, will go all out at MCA Stadium to force a series decider. The Indian batters attempted to play attacking cricket, but wickets continued to fall. India had lost five wickets and scored only 101 runs by the conclusion of the 15th over.
Chamika Karunaratne’s late cameo in the chase dragged the tourists back, leaving them chasing 13 runs in the final over. Despite Axar Patel going for a six, India won by two runs to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match bilateral series. Both sides have concerns in the first game that they would work to resolve in later games. The biggest source of concern is Sri Lanka’s middle order’s inability to score runs. Furthermore, the speed assault appeared inexperienced, and the spinners came to the squad’s rescue.
