Live Cricket Score of India vs Sri Lanka, 2nd T20I in Ranchi

Hello and welcome to the live blog of the second Twenty20 International between India and Sri Lanka in Ranchi.

On first sightings, it appears as if Pune's green-top was made out of Ranchi's outfield. Sports the look of a balding person who has all but failed to hide the barren spots. Expect lower standards of fielding with players opting out of dives and slides to keep their skin intact and with the World T20 approaching, it'll be important that the players don't try too hard and injure themselves.

There is a lot of pride at stake as well, particularly for India, the World No. 3 in the T20I rankings. A series loss to Sri Lanka just a month prior to the World T20 and on home soil will be a big dent to their pride. Consequently, it will be a big boost for Sri Lanka and will probably aid in ticking all their empty boxes when the squad is picked.

Toss and team details in a while. Stay tuned ....
