Preview: The ODI series began with an exciting draw at R.Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, thanks to an outstanding all-around performance by the hosts Sri Lanka. Charith Asalanka, who was leading Sri Lanka in ODI cricket for the first time, produced a thrilling end by dismissing Shivam Dube and No. 11 Arshdeep Singh with consecutive deliveries in a nail-biting finale. The second One-Day International (ODI) of the three-match series, which is now tied 0-0, will take place on August 4 at 2:30 pm at R.Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Rohit Sharma, the captain of the T20I World Cup winning team, scored a half-century early on after hitting seven fours and three sixes after a brief pause. Then, in an attempt to put India on the defensive, Welalage sent him and Shubhman Gill back to the pavilion. In order to tie the match in the 48th over, Sri Lankan spinners Wanindu Hasaranga and Asalanka each claimed three wickets.
Both teams tied each other in this back-to-back match. However, it seemed like a win for Sri Lanka. They last triumphed over India in 2021.
