Sri Lanka won the second match by 32 runs and took a 1-0 lead in the SL vs IND ODI series.

Sri Lanka took a lead of 1-0 in the three-match SL vs IND ODI series after winning the second ODI by 32 runs. Jeffrey Vandersay stunned India in Colombo with his six-wicket haul.

First, the Indian spinners, led by off-spinner Washington Sundar, tested the Sri Lankan batters on a tricky Colombo pitch as the hosts managed to score a respectable total of 240/9 in 50 overs.

Washington Sundar (3/30) and Kuldeep Yadav (2/33) took advantage of the spin-friendly pitch after Sri Lanka skipper Charith Asalanka decided to bat first. Batters Avishka Fernando (40 off 62 balls) and Kamindu Mendis (40 off 44 balls) were the top scorers for their side.

While defending 241, leg spinner Jeffrey Vandersay (6/33) dismantled the Indian batting line-up by picking a six-wicket haul. Vandersay snared the crucial wickets of Indian skipper Rohit Sharma (64), vice-captain Shubman Gill (35), Virat Kohli (14), Shivam Dube (0), KL Rahul (0), and Shreyas Iyer (7). 

Sri Lanka skipper Charith Asalanka (3/20) supported Vandersay superbly by picking a three-wicket haul as India were all out for 208. For the visitors, skipper Rohit Sharma played a valuable knock of 64 runs and Axar Patel scored 44 runs. But their knocks went in vain.

With this victory, Sri Lanka took a 1-0 lead in the ongoing three-match ODI series. The final SL vs IND match of the series will be played on August 7 at the same stadium in Colombo.
