Chasing a target of 231 runs, India slumped to 230 all out in 47.5 overs. They needed just one run off 15 balls with two wickets in hand, when Charith Asalanka removed dangerman Shivam Dube and no. 11 Arshdeep Singh off consecutive balls to bowl the visitors out in dramatic fashion. This was the first tied ODI between the two teams, and the 12th time India were involved in a tied ODI overall.

The big news ahead of the match is that Lankan all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga has been ruled out of the remainder of the series due to a hamstring injury. Here are the updated squads of the two teams.

The weather in Colombo is hot and humid. The pitch is dry and similar to the first ODI. Some cracks may pose a threat to the batters. Batting first might be advantageous for Sri Lanka because the cracks will widen in the second innings. It is not expected to be a high-scoring game. Batters will need to spend time at the crease.

Mohammed Siraj came to open the bowling attack of India and he started with a wicket. Nissanka is caught behind by KL Rahul. India got their first wicket on the first delivery of the match. A big wicket for India! A wicket-maiden for Siraj.

SL - 0/1 (1)

The second ODI between India and Sri Lanka is the 150th ODI match at RPS Colombo. The venue became the 5th venue in the world to host 150 ODIs or more after Sharjah (249), Harare Sports Club (182), SCG (161), and MCG (151).

The second ODI between India and Sri Lanka at RPS Colombo is the 40th ODI between the two teams at a venue, most for any two teams at a single venue.

After starting with a wicket-maiden, Mohammed Siraj started his second over with a boundary by the new-batter at the crease, Kusal Mendis. He conceded a single on the last delivery. The pressure is on Lankan batters after losing their most important wicket early in the game.

There was a lot of pressure coming into the side. I am coming out of a layoff. I had to something and it is easier to take credit. I want to give credit to the batters as well. They put on 240 runs and that helped me to bowl in good areas. Hasaranga is out No. 1 spinner. I got to understand the atmosphere of the team and team balance. I have to keep pushing myself. There was assistance in the wicket, I was trying to hit the good areas. Once I got my first wicket, that built up my confidence. Fortunately, I was able to take six wickets.

 When you lose a game, everything hurts. It's not just about those 10 overs. You have to play consistent cricket and we failed to do that today. Little disappointed but these things happen. You got to adapt what's in front of you. With left-right, we felt it'll be easier to rotate strike. Credit to Jeffrey, he got six wickets. The reason I got 65 is because of the way I batted. When I am batting like that, there's a lot of risks taken. If you don't cross the line, you always feel disappointed. I don't want to compromise on my intent. We understand nature of this surface, it gets really tough in the middle overs. You have to try to get as many as possible in the powerplay. We weren't good enough. Don't want to look too much into how we played. But there'll be talks about our batting in the middle overs.

I was pretty with the score. 240 was good enough. As a captain, these kind of problems (plenty of spin options) I need to have. It was an unbelievable spell by him (Vandersay). They were more than 90 runs when he came in to bowl. I am mainly a batter, I have to score runs. After that I can bowl a few overs.

Sri Lanka are leading the three-match ODI series with 1-0 and now they can not lose this. They have a golden chance to win the series on Wednesday. Join us then for the coverage of the 3rd match. Until then, goodnight and take care!
