21:42 Local Time, 16:12 GMT: India made absolute light work of this run chase. If they needed 14.4 overs to get 121 in the first T20I, tonight they’ve cruised to 128 in just 11.5 overs, underlining their dominance with both bat and ball. Shafali Verma, who missed out in the opening game, was back to her destructive best. Although India lost Smriti early, Jemimah Rodrigues walked in and immediately kept the tempo high. The pair found boundaries regularly, stitching together a brisk 58-run stand that virtually sealed the contest. Jemimah fell for 26, but Shafali continued unfazed - bringing up her fifty off just 27 balls and finishing unbeaten on 69, guiding India to a commanding victory. Sri Lanka, meanwhile, will be disappointed. They were below par with the bat, but even more untidy with the ball and in the field - too many loose deliveries and misfields allowed India to race away without pressure. Hang around for the presentations..

Malki Madara to Harmanpreet Kaur, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! Something for Sri Lanka to cheer about. Harmanpreet goes for a cheeky shot and pays the price. Walks right across her stumps, sits down and attempts the sweep, the slower delivery dips under her bat and bowls her behind her legs. Harmanpreet Kaur b Malki Madara 10(12)
