Unyielding Dinusha, spirited tail hold off India to save Colombo Test

**Dinusha’s unbeaten 133 secures draw for Sri Lanka in second Test against India**

Colombo, Sri Lanka – On the final day of the second Test between Sri Lanka and India at the Galle International Stadium, Sri Lankan batsman Sonal Dinusha played a marathon innings that enabled his side to avoid defeat after being asked to follow on.

Facing a target set by India, Dinusha remained unbeaten on 133 runs. Over a period of roughly seven hours, he anchored the Sri Lankan lower order, guiding the tail‑end batsmen through a resilient partnership that saw the team hold out long enough for the match to end in a draw.

The innings came after India’s first‑innings lead forced Sri Lanka to bat again under follow‑on conditions. Dinusha’s resistance, supported by contributions from the lower order, prevented India from securing a second‑innings lead that would have been required for a win.

The match concluded without a result, with Sri Lanka salvaging a point from a situation that had appeared to be heading toward an Indian victory. No further details on the final scores or individual performances of other players were provided in the source report.
