Clinching the three-match series will be in the mind of Team India when they take to the field in the second T20I against Sri Lanka at Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium in Dambulla on Saturday.

On Friday, Shami dismissed English batter Samuel Evans with a peach of a delivery to draw the first blood for his side.
