Hardik Pandya Blames Poor Efforts In Powerplay Of Both Innings For India's To Sri Lanka In 2nd T20I

By IANS News January 06, 2023 • 08:03 AM View: 1072

Pune, Jan 5, India skipper Hardik Pandya blamed poor efforts by his team in both the bowling and batting powerplay for his team's 16-run defeat to Sri Lanka in the second T20I at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, here on Thursday.

After Pandya won the toss and chose to bowl first, the Indians conceded 55 runs without any success in the power-play as Kushal Mendis made merry. They pulled things back in the middle overs before Sri Lanka hammered 77 runs in the last five overs to race to 206/6 in 20 overs with Sri Lanka skipper Dasun Shanaka blazing to a sensational 20-ball half century.
