    What's the story

    Sri Lanka staged an emphatic fightback in the three-match series after beating India in the 2nd ODI in Colombo.

    The Lankans successfully defended 240 after bowling India out for 208. Leg-spinner Jeffrey Vandersay scripted history after taking six wickets.

    Although Rohit Sharma played a captain's knock, India succumbed to spin.

    SL now lead the series 1-0 after the opener ended in a tie.

    Sri Lanka

    SL recover after suffering middle-order collapse

    Mohammed Siraj dismissed Pathum Nissanka early after SL elected to bat.

    However, Avishka Fernando and Kusal Mendis added 74 runs for the third wicket. Washington Sundar dismissed the duo in quick succession thereafter.

    Sundar and Kuldeep Yadav restricted SL in the middle phase.

    SL were down to 136/6 before Dunith Wellalage and Kamindu Mendis played impactful knocks. The hosts recovered well to reach 240/9.

    India

    India get home despite succumbing to Vandersay 

    Rohit and Shubman Gill got India off to a flier, having added 97 runs.

    However, Vandersay sent back both the Indian openers before the 20th over.

    In just six overs, India slumped from 116/1 to 147/6, with Vandersay doing the damage.

    Axar Patel (44) and Sundar (15) took India past 180, but Charith Asalanka's twin strikes helped SL. India finally perished for 208.

    Vandersay

    Vandersay runs riot in Colombo

    Leg-spinner Vandersay triggered Team India's batting collapse after they were cruising at 97/0.

    The wrist-spinner dismissed Rohit and Gill in quick succession before getting rid of Shivam Dube (0), Virat Kohli (14), Shreyas Iyer (7), and KL Rahul (0).

    With this, Vandersay became the second wrist-spinner to record a six-fer against India in ODIs. He went past Pakistan's Mushtaq Ahmed (5/36).

    Nissanka

    Third SL batter with this forgettable ODI record 

    As per Cricbuzz, Nissanka became the third Sri Lanka batter to be dismissed on the first ball of an ODI against India.

    He joined Sanath Jayasuriya (2002) and Upul Tharanga (2009 and 2010).

    Siraj outfoxed Nissanka with a good-length delivery on the off stump in Colombo. Wicket-keeper KL Rahul took an easy catch after Nissanka nicked one.
