Anvay Dravid's impressive 87 was not enough as Sri Lanka U-19 secured an eight-wicket victory in the second Youth ODI, leveling the series. Despite India posting 285, Sri Lankan opener Dimantha Mahavithana's unbeaten 155 led a dominant chase, reaching the target with ease. Anvay and Arjun Rajput's partnership rescued India from an early collapse, but it ultimately proved insufficient.
