3:25pm India get the same score as the first T20I, and will be hoping for a similar performance with the ball. Smriti Mandhana and Sabbhineni Meghana got starts but were unable to convert it into big scores, as the Sri Lankan bowlers picked up wickets at regular intervals.

Harmanpreet Kaur and Jemimah Rodrigues stabilised things with a 64-run partnership, although questions could be asked regarding their moderate scoring rate. Four boundaries in the last seven balls added a much-needed flourish to the score, with Sri Lanka likely to be disappointed at not restricting their opponents to a lower total. Stay tuned, S Sudarshanan will be back with the start of the run-chase.
