Batting first, Sri Lanka scored 161/9 in 20 overs. Sri Lanka batters tried to battle it out but were unable to face the ruthless bowling attack of India. Kusal Perera was the top contributor as he scored 53 runs. Ravi Bishnoi shut down Sri Lanka's batting lineup after taking a three-wicket haul. Arshdeep Singh, Axar Patel and Hardik Pandya scalped a couple of wickets each.

After India came out to bat, the rain came in to play a spoilsport and the game was reduced to 8 overs and India were asked to chase a target of 78 runs in 8 overs. After Yashasvi Jaiswal's fine start for India yet again, Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya were other significant contributors in India's 7-wicket win over Sri Lanka in the 2nd T20I.
