Colombo: In the second match of the three-match ODI series, hosts Sri Lanka batted first and scored 240 runs against India. The Sri Lankan team did not have a great start in this match. The team lost its first wicket without scoring any runs. The Sri Lankan batsmen looked completely helpless to score runs in front of the Indian bowlers. On top of that, the Indian team’s fielders also gave them a tough time. Especially the way Shreyas Iyer took the wicket of Kamindu Mendis was amazing.
Kamindu played a strong innings of 40 runs in 44 balls in the lower order for Sri Lanka. He also hit four fours in his innings. Kamindu’s innings of 40 runs was quite useful, but on the 5th ball of the last over, Shreyas Iyer threw a rocket-like throw and ran him out. Iyer’s throw was so fast that the ball hit the wicket at the speed of a bullet. In this way, Kamindu was run out.

Shreyas Iyer could not perform well in batting

Iyer was able to play only 9 balls in which he hit a four. Shreyas Iyer was made a victim by Jeffrey Vandersay. All the batsmen of India had difficulty playing against Jeffrey Vandersay. He also opened his claws in this match.
