Sri Lankan batsmen Chamara Kapugedara and skipper Dinesh Chandimal were dismissed for 32 and 32, respectively by all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, during the chase against India in the second of the three-match Twenty20 International (T20I) series at the Jharkhand State Cricket Association Stadium in Ranchi on Friday. While Kapugedara was caught by Hardik Pandya, Chandimal was stumped by Dhoni. Currently, Sri Lanka are 69 for the loss of five wickets in 12 overs, with Dasun Shanaka on one and Milinda Siriwardana coming in. Earlier, Sri Lankan skipper Dinesh Chandimal won the toss and elected to bowl first, as India scored 196 for the loss of six wickets in 20 Overs. He made a change in the form of Tilakaratne Dilshan, who comes in for Niroshan Dickwella, while Indian skipper MS Dhoni moved in with an unchanged squad from the opening T20I loss at Pune.

MS Dhoni leads India to face Sri Lanka in the second Twenty20 International (T20I) at his hometown Ranchi on Friday. The defeat in the first game against a young and inexperienced Sri Lankan side came as a shocker but the Men in Blue (well, Sri Lanka are, technically speaking, Men in Blue as well) remain positive, drawing confidence from their 3-0 win against Australia as they marched to the No. 1 ranking in this format. Meanwhile, Dinesh Chandimal’s young Lankans will hope to continue building on the momentum they got at Pune. It will not be easy but we have seen that the game is full of surprises.
