Follow UsIndia suffered an embarrassing 32-run defeat in the second ODI against Sri Lanka on August 4 (Sunday) and are now trailing 1-0 in the three-match series, with just one game to go.
Opting to bat first, the home team put up a total of 240 in their 50 overs. Jeffrey Vandersay (6/33) and Charith Asalanka (3/20) then shared nine wickets between them and bundled India out for 208 in 42.2 overs.
Rohit Sharma (44-ball 64) and Shubman Gill (44-ball 35) got India off to a fantastic start, adding 97 runs for the opening wicket in just 13.3 overs. However, once Vandersay got rid of Rohit, all hell broke loose. The legspinner took all of the first six wickets and reduced India to 147/6. Asalanka then took three of the last four wickets and finished the job.
