India are currently hosting Sri Lanka in a three-match T20I series that started on 24th February. Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala is set to host the second of the three clashes.
India, led by Rohit Sharma, have made a brilliant start to their campaign with a win in the first match of the series. On Thursday, February 24, they defeated the Lankans by 62 runs at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.
After being put in to bat first, the Men in Blue racked up a mammoth score of 199 for two on the board. Skipper Rohit and Ishan Kishan’s 111-run stand for the opening wicket laid the foundation for the hosts.
Rohit got out after scoring 44 off 32, but Kishan carried on in his own merry way. Kishan made 89 off 56 with 10 fours and three sixes before getting out to Dasun Shanaka. Shreyas Iyer also chipped in with a quickfire 28-ball knock of 57. In the run-chase, the Lankans could hardly get going and finished their innings at 137 for six in their 20 overs.
Charith Asalanka stayed unbeaten on 53 with five fours, but he didn’t get enough support from others. Chamika Karunaratne and Dushmantha Chameera threw their bats around for a bit. Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Venkatesh Iyer picked up two wickets apiece for India.
