Bet on T20

After Beating the Sri Lanka with a close encounter of 2 runs, India lost the 2nd T20 match with 16 runs.

DaSun Shanaka smashed 56 on 22 deliveries and became the first Sri Lankan Batsman with the fastest Half Century in just 20 balls. For India, Umran Malik was the successful bowler who picked 3 wickets in the last match. Shivam Mavi failed to keep the momentum of the previous match, although he showed his hands in batting. Arshdeep Singh had an expensive spell and his back to back no balls brought some bad luck for India.

Indian top order yet again failed to give a good start to the team. In middle order all rounder Axar Patel and Star batsman Surya Kumar Yadav played some brilliant innings with 65 and 51 runs respectively and they put India in the match but SKY also had some limit, he got caught on the boundary and India lost the hope.
