The visitors had defeated Sri Lanka by nine wickets in the first ODI at Dambulla. The duo forged a 100-run partnership and finished the proceeding with more than two overs to spare. Earlier, sensible innings from Siriwardana (58) and Chamara Kapugedera (40) helped Sri Lanka score 236/8. Then the lower-order batsmen -- Dananjaya (9), Dushmantha Chameera (6) and Vishwa Fernando (3) -- once again failed to make their mark and Sri Lanka only managed to score 236 in their allotted 50 overs.
