Ruthless India seek series win against chaotic Sri Lanka

Preview

With 1-0 up in the series, the visitors would look to capture the T20 series against a miserable lankan side who looked in all sorts of trouble in the opening encounter. The visitors would be high on confidence coming into the series decider. They have all the momentum at the moment and are just a victory away from pulling off another emphatic series triumph. Sri Lanka on the other side will be looking forward to somehow sorting out their batting woes. They suffered a major batting collapse in the last game. Chasing 164 to win, Sri Lanka started the chase on a positive note, but eventually fell off trying to up the ante. If the hosts by any chance want to get any close to inducing a favorable result then they should sort out their all round performance, particularly their batting. The inability to rotate strike is affecting their confidence in a major way. Instead of surviving through the  tough spells,  SL batsmen have thus far attacked and have miserably failed. Now, let's have a look at how these two teams fare out in today’s clash.

Pitch Report

The pitch will certainly assist the pace bowlers. With overcast conditions, the ball is expected to do a bit after hitting the deck. Spin bowlers however would not enjoy the same treatment. They’ll have a tough time holding and gripping the ball. Team winning the toss should look to bat first.

Match Prediction

After a comfortable win in the opening game, we expect the visitors to replicate more of the same in the next game. They are clearly the stronger side on paper and possess all the essential components for a winning recipe. We predict the visitors to clinch the series with a victory tonight. Krishnappa Gowtham can make his ODI debut in this game.
