Summary: India Women record a convincing victory in the 2nd T20I, take an unassailable lead in the Sri Lanka series.

India Women moved a step closer to securing the five-match T20I series against Sri Lanka with a commanding performance in the second game at the ACA-VDCA Stadium in Visakhapatnam.

After comfortably winning the first match, India didn’t let up. They once again put together a strong all-round show — disciplined bowling backed by smart batting — to hand Sri Lanka another defeat and take an unassailable 2–0 lead in the series.

Sri Lanka batted first but struggled to build meaningful partnerships. From the beginning, Indian bowlers put pressure, controlled runs and forced the other team to make mistakes. Strong bowling, creative strategies, and skilled fielding allowed India to disrupt significant partnerships at key moments, restricting Sri Lanka to a tough yet reachable score.

When India came to bat, they moved steadily and smartly. The pursuit was led by experienced players who paced their innings based on the target and conditions. The Indian batters found gaps and rotated the strike with clear intent and low risk, making the target run rate very attainable.

The Indian team proved their dominance with their depth and balance, highlighting their excellent performance throughout the game. While individual scores and stats contributed, India's complete control of the game from the first ball itself was critical.

This victory shows that Indian women are serious about this series and places them in a dominant position. In order to maintain their prestige in the remaining games, Sri Lanka women will now need to immediately rebound.

With confidence high and character on display, India Women appear to be on track to wrap out the series – possibly convincingly.
