between India and Sri Lanka on February 12 was today shifted from Delhi to Ranchi after the DDCA expressed its inability to host the match following a snub from the Delhi High Court.
"...The venue of the second Twenty20 International match of the three-match home series against Sri Lanka has been shifted from Delhi to Ranchi," BCCI Secretary Anurag Thakur said in a statement.
The other two games of the three-match series are to be played on February 9 (Pune) and February 14 (Visakhapatnam).
