Sri Lanka clinch low-scoring thriller to level series

Dhananjaya de Silva hit an unbeaten 40 as Sri Lanka defeated India by four wickets in the Covid-19 delayed second Twenty20 international to level the series at 1-1 on Wednesday.

Chasing 133 for victory, Sri Lanka depended on an unbeaten 28-run seventh-wicket partnership between De Silva and Chamika Karunaratne, who made 12, to achieve their target with two balls to spare in Colombo.

Earlier, India posted 132-5 after they fielded four debutants following virus positive Krunal Pandya and eight of his close contacts forced to sit out the game, which was postponed hours before the scheduled start on Tuesday. The third and deciding T20 is on Thursday at the same venue
