Meanwhile, Sri Lanka won the toss and decided to bat first in the second ODI. However, the visitors failed to put up a strong fight with the bat, getting bundled out for 215.

Opener Nuwanidu Fernando hit a fine half-century on his ODI debut. His promising knock came to a premature end after he was run out on 50 by Shubman Gill. India’s Kuldeep Yadav and Mohammed Siraj picked up three wickets each, while Umran Malik bagged two scalps.
