Sri Lanka Draws Second Test Against India, Denying Series Sweep
In the second Test at Colombo, Sri Lanka secured a draw against India, denying them a 2-0 series sweep. India enforced the follow-on after a 213-run lead, but resilient batting from Sonal Dinusha, who scored an unbeaten 133, and Keshara Nuwantha helped Sri Lanka bat for 150 overs on a flat pitch. Sri Lanka's lower order supported Dinusha's marathon innings, while Indian bowlers struggled to find breakthroughs. India won the series 1-0, but Sri Lanka's fightback was widely praised by players and commentators.
