Sri Lanka vs India Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing 11 Updates for Today's 2nd ODI Match - July 20th, 2021
The second ODI between Sri Lanka and India is set to take place at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Tuesday.
The Indians had a ball in the first ODI as young guns Prithvi Shaw and Ishan Kishan wreaked havoc on Sunday. Led by Shikhar Dhawan, India registered a comfortable seven-wicket win to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. However, India will still look to make improvements, especially on the bowling front, with their pacers Deepak Chahar and Bhuvneshwar Kumar struggling to pick up early wickets. Although spinners Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal's form was a bright spot, India will definitely be eyeing a better performance with the ball.
As India eye a series win, Sri Lanka, themselves, will be hoping for an improved performance. None of their batsmen were able to convert their starts into big ones, which cost them the win. They will need their big guns in Avishka Fernando and Dasun Shanaka to fire with the bat if they are to come close to leveling the series.
All in all, a cracking game of cricket beckons in Colombo as both teams eye a crucial win at the expense of one another on Tuesday.

Pitch Report
A good batting track beckons at the Premadasa Stadium with some help on offer for the bowlers as well. While the batsmen will look to go on the attack from ball one, they will need to be wary of movement off the surface early on. As the match progresses, the spinners will play a big role, making for a good contest between bat and ball. With dew possibly playing a part, both teams will look to chase upon winning the toss. 250-260 is par at the venue, with the middle overs being crucial to the outcome of the game.
