IND vs SL, 2nd ODI: Match Preview , Pitch Report, Match Prediction, Fantasy Picks
Will Gabbar’s army go 2-0 in the series? Or Will the Lions pull off a miraculous upset?
Preview
One down two to go. Firm favourites India drew first blood in the series. The visitors put up an emphatic show to go one up in the three match series. Debutants Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav showed a lot of promise in the series opener. While the latter notched up a quickfire 50, Yadav ensured his team reached over the line without any discomfort. He alongside Dhawan(86) stitched a crucial 48 run partnership to seal the victory for team India. Prithvi Shaw scored a brisk 43 to put India in the driver’s seat. Earlier, the hosts displayed tremendous courage to pile up 262 on board. Early strikes from the wrist spin duo of Kuldeep and Chahal put the lions on the backfoot, but they exhibited good composure and temperament to reach the 260 run mark. Chahal, Yadav, and Chahar picked 2 wickets apiece to stop the flow of runs for Lankans. With only three matches in the ODI series, India would be eyeing a series win, while Shanaka’s men will be looking forward to putting an end to their losing streak.
