Cricket-Vandersay heroics help Sri Lanka sink India in second ODI

Sri Lanka’s Jeffrey Vandersay returned career-best figures of 6-33 to trigger a dramatic batting collapse for India and help his team win the second one-day international by 32 runs on Sunday.

The 34-year-old Vandersay, a late replacement for injured spinner Wanindu Hasaranga who was ruled out of the series ahead of the match, took the first six wickets to fall in India’s chase of 241 for victory at Colombo’s R. Premadasa Stadium.

Skipper Charith Asalanka took three wickets to bowl out India for 208 and take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series after the opener ended in a tie.
