Jeffrey Vandersay produced a spell of leg-spin for the ages, sending India plumetting to an embarrassing defeat at the R Premadasa Stadium on Sunday. The 34-year-old leg-spinner, a late induction into the Sri Lankan squad after a hamstring injury sustained by Wanindu Hasaranga in Friday’s first One-Day International, ran through a crease-tied India, taking six for 26 in his first spell to turn the match on its head, bowl Sri Lanka to a 32-run win and open up a 1-0 lead with one to play.
In a repeat of game one, Sri Lanka rallied from a deep hole, 136 for six on batting first, to post 240 for nine on a surface slightly less demanding for batting than two nights previously. Dunith Wellalage was again the star with a sparkling cameo, but there was support too from Avishka Fernando, Kusal Mendis and Kamindu Mendis.
