Watch india vs sri lanka 2nd t20 live scores, highlights online here. Sri Lanka had been outstanding in their first T20I against India. At Nagpur they batted first and posted a giant total; courtesy some sloppy fielding by Indians and missed throws and fumble at catches.

Dilshan has been proving again and again that he is one classy batsman who can adapt well as soon to kind of a game format. His shots were a visual treat. He hit 5 boundaries during his stay and made quickie 34 runs. However, Sangakkara had been the man who stole the show his 37 ball 78 runs should teach youngsters of both the teams that it’s just about attitude and focus. He switched to T20 mode quite fast and hit about 11 fours and 2 sixes in his 37 balls. He was supported by Kappugedara, who made another quick fire 47 runs in 20 balls. Jayasuriya didn’t fail and scored for the team valuable 26 runs.

India started to chase 216 to win and both Gambhir and Sehwag looked devastating. It looked like even 216 a small total. They gave a decent start, but the middle order failed to capitalize on that. As soon as the 2 batsmen were out, it became matter of time for the Sri Lankan bowlers to finish their job. The fielding was kept tight preventing even singles, and they kept the pressure mounting on the batsmen.

Tail enders showed some courage, but 216 became too much of an asking from Nehra and Ashok Dinda. They were all bowled out for 186 runs. Jayasuriya took 2 wickets and Angelo Matthews took 2. There were 2 run outs too that cost India dear. As the teams go to Mohali, fans expect to see an Indian win and local boy Yuvraj will be celebrating his birthday tomorrow so he gets all blessings from fans.

They will look forward to 6-sixes-in-6-balls thingy again. Besides, there are speculations about Rohit Sharma playing owing to being physically unfit. Dhoni might go for Dinesh Kartik in place of R Sharma. Sri Lanka is on the rising form and will look to win tomorrow’s T20 I too, but India will not give up and will look forward to iron out the scores.
