" Keep going after ball" approach is failing badly against swinging balls. You can't slog at Pune under lights. It swings big here. Pandya wanted a challenge so he chose to field first lol Epic fail.

Kookaburra balls are swinging nowadays so unless theres a significant advantage chasing at a venue, it's better to bat first I guess.

Great watch
 
Chasing a huge target of 207, India fought on till the end but ultimately Sri Lanka won by 16 runs to level three-match series 1-1.

After a top-order collapse, Axar Patel (65) and Suryakumar Yadav (51) stitched a 91-run stand off just 40 balls.

Axar also combined with Shivam Mavi (26) to put up 41 runs off 22 balls. However, those heroic efforts were not enough to take India over the line. Earlier, Sri Lanka displayed terrific hitting prowess to put up 206/6 in 20 overs.

Dasun Shanaka scored 56* off just 22 balls while Kusal Mendis made 52 off 31 balls. The Indian pacers proved to be costly.

Arshdeep Singh bowled five no balls and gave away 37 runs in two overs while Umran Malik gave 48 runs in four overs.

He, however, took three wickets. Shivam Mavi gave away 53 runs in four overs. Spinners Axar Patel (2/24) and Yuzvendra Chahal (1/30) were better than their pace counterparts

It was supposed to be a meaningless series for some but they are still watching it ball by ball and keeping an eye on upcoming Indian talent like Umran, Kishan, Tripathi and Samson. India lost today but there is still 1 match to go. :ab :inti
