Just when it looked like Sri Lanka had the 2nd T20I, Suryakumar Yadav and Axar Patel produced a 42-ball 91 partnership to send the visitors into a state of panic. Their bowlers, however, maintained composure dismissing Suryakumar first and later Axar to ensure India did not take away their chance of winning the series. Both teams will again face off in the final T20I on January 7.
