Team India demolished Sri Lanka by 69 runs to win the second t-20 at Ranchi, and equalling the series 1-1. The teams now travel to Vizag for the third ODI. India dominated from the beginning and it was Dhawan was the man of the match for providing a flyer in the beginning.
India scored 196/6 in their stipulated over. Dhawan scored 51 of only 25 balls. Rohit played a good hand scoring 43. Rahane, Raina and Pandya also contributed to this massive total. For Sri Lanka, star was Perera who managed to take a hat-trick dismissing Pandya, Raina and Yuvi of three successive balls.
Sri Lanka was never really in the chase losing two wickets of the first two overs. Chandimal, Kapugedera, Siriwardana and Shanaka played decently but it was always too less while chasing such a huge total. Sri Lanka eventually fell well short scoring only 127 for the loss of 9 wickets in 20 overs. Kepugedera top scored with 32. For India Ashwin was the pick of the bowler taking 3. Nehra, Jadeja and Bumrah took two wickets each. Bumrah particularly again impressed for bowling yorkers effortlessly, a rarity in Indian cricket.
