Sri Lanka U-19 beat India U-19 by eight wickets in the second Youth ODI, leveling the series after India posted 285 runs. India’s innings featured a recovery from early trouble, helped by Anvay Dravid, who scores an 87 off 67 balls, and a partnership with Arjun Rajput. Despite Dravid’s knock, India’s total proves insufficient for Sri Lanka’s chase.
In response, Sri Lanka U-19 opener Dimantha Mahavithana plays a dominant innings, remaining unbeaten on 155. His century-plus effort anchors the chase and allows Sri Lanka to reach the target with relative ease, completing the win with eight wickets in hand. Multiple reports highlight that while India’s top-order collapse was partially offset by Dravid and Rajput, Sri Lanka’s opener outperforms and determines the outcome. The second Youth ODI therefore ends with Sri Lanka drawing level in the series following the eight-wicket victory.
