India Women vs Sri Lanka Women 2nd T20I ​ Cricket Score: Sree Charani removes Hasini Perera

Sneh Rana replaced Deepti, as Sri Lanka were unbeaten for the second 20 overs.

Toss India chose to bowl vs Sri Lanka

Deepti Sharma, the new top-ranked T20I bowler, has been ruled out of India’s second T20I against Sri Lanka in Visakhapatnam with mild fever.

Harmanpreet Kaur won her second toss in a row, joked that “winning the toss is not my cup of tea”, and asked Sri Lanka to bat again at the same venue where India registered an eight-wicket win on Sunday.

Offspin all-rounder Sneh Rana replaced Deepti in India’s XI, which continued to have batting depth all the way down, with Kranti Gaud, Vaishnavi Sharma and N Shree Charani listed at Nos. 9. 10 and 11. Rana had played in four of the five T20I s in England earlier this year, but was wicketless in each of them.

Despite being outplayed with the bat and ball in the opening game of the five-match series, Sri Lanka picked the same XI that lost on Sunday Ambidextrous wristspinner Shashini Gimhani, who conceded 32 in two overs in the first game, got another chance and will have to contend once again with heavy dew.

India:

India 1 Smriti Mandhana, 2 Shafali Verma, 3 Jemimah Rodrigues, 4 Harmanpreet Kaur (capt), 5 Richa Ghosh (wk), 6 Amanjot Kaur, 7 Sneh Rana 8 Arundhati Reddy, 9 Kranti Gaud, 10 Vaishnavi Sharma, 11 N Shree Charani

Sri Lanka:

Sri Lanka 1 Chamari Athapaththu (capt), 2 Hasini Perera, 3 Harshitha Samarawickrama, 4 Kavisha Dilhari, 5 Nilakshika Silva, 6 Vishmi Gunaratne, 7 Kaushini Nuythyangana (wk), 8 Inoka Ranaweera, 9 Malki Madara, 10 Kawya Kavindi, 11 Shashini Gimhani.

India Women (IND-W) vs Sri Lanka Women (SL-W) 2nd T20I Cricket Score Updates: Chamari Athapaththu was in dangerous touch for Sri Lanka, but Sneh Rana dismissed her towards the end of the powerplay to give India the upper hand in the 2nd T20I in Visakhapatnam on Tuesday. Rana was drafted into the XI in place of Deepti Sharma, who missed out due to illness.

Harmanpreet Kaur opted to bowl first again to Chamari Athapaththu’s Sri Lanka. India were dominant in the first T20I with bat and ball, so much that even dropping as many as five catches didn’t stop them from running away to an eight-wicket win. That was their eighth win in their last 10 T20I s against Sri Lanka.

Athapaththu had said after the defeat in the opening match of the series that Sri Lanka were too defensive with the bat. The conditions were very much batting-friendly and it is expected to remain the case today as well. This was underscored by India wrapping up the chase in just 14.4 overs with Jemimah Rodrigues smashing a fluent half-century. The hosts will now be looking to strengthen their grip on the series.

THE LATEST UPDATES FROM THE IND VS SL 2nd T20I IN VISAKHAPATNAM

India Women vs Sri Lanka Women 2nd T20I ​Live Cricket Score: SL 94/3 after 15 overs

Oh dear. Vaishnavi Sharma’s wait for the first wicket continues with another fielding mistake. Richa Ghosh slips and falls, what should have been a simple catch ends up falling in the middle of nowhere! Nice to see Harman putting an arm around the youngster. They both can see the lighter side. Richa is fine too, just unfortunate that her footing gave way.

Kaveesha has another nervous moment. India initially decided not to review this LBW thinking that there was glove involved. But Vaishnavi says not true and Harman goes for a late review. Looked like a good call, to be fair. But the ball-tracking shows missing leg stump.

Really good over from Vaishnavi though.

SL 90/3 after 14 overs

The broadcast is showing 33 balls since the last boundary but that should not be true. First ball of Arundhati Reddy’s over, Harshitha plays a sweep to a ball that was angled well into her pads. Richa couldn’t stop it, and it went for four. But the umpire signaled leg byes. Lucky for Arundhati.

SL 82/3 after 12.5 overs

SREE CHARANI STRIKES! That’ll break the left-left stand. Fires one quicker at about 82kph, Hasini gets into no position to loft this down the ground, the mishit just loops back to Charani. She has been having a tough time in the field, but steadies herself under this one and takes a nervous catch. Smiles afterwards.

SL 79/2 after 12 overs

Oh that’s unfortunate for Amanjot (although it doesn’t go against her numbers). Short ball, pull attempt by the batter but Richa got up too early and the ball sneaks through her pads for four byes. Spoiled a good one otherwise.

SL 72/2 after 11 overs

Harman has made a call to make with her two left-arm spinners tonight with the two left-handed batters in the middle. Vaishnavi was targeted in that one over but now Sree Charani came into the attack and bowled a tidy first over, conceding six singles. Harman won’t mind that.

SL 66/2 after 10 overs

What an over from Sneh Rana! Sri Lanka scoring 27 runs off the three overs after Chamari’s dismissal… including a boundary in the previous from the returning Kranti Gaud. But Sneh Rana comes back into the attack and bowls a brilliant maiden. Top stuff. Great control of her lengths, the speed varying between 76kph to 84kph, completely tied down Harshitha who

SL 39/2 after 6 overs

Earlier to end the powerplay, Sneh Rana bowled the perfect over which India needed. A few length deliveries to keep Chamari in check, then went fuller and drew the false shot from th SL captain who looked in great touch until then. It was mistimed and the lofted shot went to Amanjot at long off, who took the catch after a brief juggle.

BIG, BIG WICKET FOR INDIA. But Sri Lanka kept the scoring rate going after that.

SL 60/2 after 8 overs

BIG OVER! Sri Lanka not slowing down after Chamari’s wicket, that is a superb sign for them. Amanjot comes in for the 7th over, Hasini goes down the ground for a four.

Vaishnavi brought into the attack for the 8th over. And the rookie, who was so cheap on Sunday night, is getting a taste of T20I cricket at the senior level here. Harshitha goes after the youngster, first a sweep past square leg then two shots past short third and backward point with two well-timed square cuts.
