CRICKET
Thunderstorms were forecast for the series opener but that game on Sunday went smoothly without any interruptions.
India won the 1st ODI comfortably against Sri Lanka and will now look to win the second match to win the series. The Dasun Shanaka-led Sri Lanka will, however, vie to level the ongoing ODI series against Shikhar Dhawan's India on Tuesday.
The hosts had a mixed outing with the bat, with Chamika Karunaratne's 43, along with crucial contributions from Charitha Asalanka (38) and skipper Shanaka (39).
India's Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Deepak Chahar took two wickets each, while the Pandya brothers Hardik and Krunal earned a wicket each.
India's Prithvi Shaw (43), Shikhar Dhawan (86*), and ODI debutant Ishan Kishan (59) helped India cruise to a seven-wicket victory over the inexperienced hosts.
