An all-round display in Ranchi followed an upset defeat on the green track in Pune with Shikhar Dhawan's 25-ball 51 and R Ashwin's 3 for 14 leading the credits at the end of the match

Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan added a 75-run opening stand

India's 196 for 6 – powered by cameos from Suresh Raina, Ajijkya Rahane and Hardik Pandya – proved too tall a target, which could have been even bigger had Thisara Perera not grabbed a hat-trick to peg India back a bit.

Thisara Perera took a hat-trick by dismissing Pandya, Raina and Yuvraj Singh in the 19th over

Other than Chamara Kapugedera (32) and skipper Dinesh Chandimal (31), none of the Lankan batsmen could stand against the disciplined Indian attack and only scored 127 for 9 in 20 overs.

For India, Ashish Nehra, Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja took two wickets apiece to keep the supply of wickets going in the Sri Lankan chase.

Ashwin struck in the first legitimate ball of the innings with M S Dhoni pulling off a brilliant stumping to send back Tillakaratne Dilshan.

Ashish Nehra had Seekkuge Prasanna on the very first ball of second over before inducing an edge from opener Danushka Gunathilaka to leave Lanka tottering

Ashish Nehra picked up two early wickets again, to reduce the visitors to 16 for 3 by the fourth over

Kapugedera and Chandimal shared a solid 52-run stand for the fourth wicket befor Jadeja got rid of them in successive balls to dash all their hopes of comeback.
Earlier, put in to bat, Dhawan scored his maiden T20I fifty to fire India to 196 for 6. India were on course to score well above 200 thanks to the left-hander's fifty along with other notable cameos from Rohit (43 off 36), Pandya (27 off 12) and Raina (30 off 19) but the visitors pulled things back courtesy Thisara Perera’s hat-trick -took the wickets of Hardik Pandy;Suresh Raina and Yuvraj Singh

Hat Tricks in T20 Internationals


4)Thisara Perara(Sri Lanka became the 4th bowler to take a hat-trick in the second Twenty20 International against India in Ranchi on Friday Feb 12,2016

 

Bowling the 19th over, Thisara Perera, who had figures of 2-0-26-0 before the start of the over, was all over the place in his first three balls but struck gold in his fourth ball when he got rid of Hardik Pandya for 27, as he mistimed a full toss to long on. In the next ball, Suresh Raina attempted to paddle a low full toss but found Dushmantha Chameera at short fine leg.

On the final ball, Perera bowled another full toss and Yuvraj Singh only managed to hole out to long on as the Sri Lankan sealed a hat-trick.

Thisara Perera joined Brett Lee, Jacob Oram and Tim Southee are the other bowlers to have taken a hat-trick in the Twenty20 Internationals

Thisara Perara spell 

1) Brett Lee(Australia)Vs Bangladesh in Cape Town during the 2007 Twenty20 World Cup

It was the seventeenth over of the innings and Lee was hit for a boundary off the first ball. But the Australian star bounced back as he scalped Shakib Al Hasan, Mashrafe Mortaza and Alok Kapali in the same over

Brett Lee’s spell 3/27(4 Overs)

2)Jacob Oram at the Premadasa Stadium against Sri Lanka in 2009
 It was a unique hat-trick for the Kiwi bowler as he along with his team-mates missed it which was completed in two overs

Jacob Oram dismissed Angelo Mathews off the last ball of the 17th over. He then dismissed Malinga Bandara and Nuvan Kulasekara off the first two balls of the final over
Jacob Oram  realized that he claimed a hat-trick after he received an email from his parents who congratulated him for the feat. 
Jacob Oram's spell 3/33(4 Overs) 3/33(3 Overs)

3)Tim Southee against Pakistan in Auckland in 2011
After Jacob Oram, Tim Southee became the second Kiwi bowler and third in the history of T20I’s to claim a hat-trick

Tim Southee also achieved another rare feat as he went on to take 5 wikcets
Tim Southee's spell 5/18(4 Overs)
