India landed an easy win on Sri Lanka in the 1st T20I yesterday. Winning the toss, Sri Lanka bowled first but Indian batting line up was in a whole different mood and put up 199 runs on board which Sri Lanka couldn’t chase.
The 2nd T20I is set to take place on 26th February at HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala which hosted the last T20I match in September 2019.
Sri Lanka is struggling a bit with their key players like Wanindu Hasaranga and Avishka Fernando ruled out of the series but they still have a good quality of batsmen and bowlers in the team and can look forward to levelling the series.
The pitch at HPCA stadium helps bowlers more which results in low scoring totals. The average total score is around 135. More than 50% matches on this pitch were won by the chasing team.
According to the weather report, light rain is expected on the match day and cold temperature will hover around 11-12 degree celsius.

Dream11 Captain - R Sharma
Dream11 Vice Captain - C Asalanka
Ishan Kishan batted brilliantly in the 1st T20I scoring 89 runs off 56 deliveries. He is definitely a top pick seeing his form. He gathered 141 dream11 points from the 1st match.
Rohit Sharma scored 44 runs off 32 deliveries in the first match and he is a top pick along with Shreyas Iyer, in the batsmen list. Rohit Sharma has scored a century in a T20I match on this ground and he looks in confident form.
Asalanka is definitely a top picked Sri Lankan player in this match. He scored 53 runs in the 1st match and he was the only batsman who looked confident in front of a sharp Indian bowling line up. He is currently selected by more than 80% users in the fantasy team.
Bumrah went wicket less in the 1st match but that doesn’t take away the fact that he is one of the best T20 bowlers. We are backing him to be the top bowler for this match, ahead of Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
Chameera is one of the top pacers of the Sri Lankan bowling line. He has been getting attention in all the leagues he has been part of. With more than 70% selection, he is a top picked Lankan bowler. He went wicket less in the 1st match but scored 24 runs and gained 30 dream11 points to be in the dream team.
Watching Shreyas Iyer’s batting after Ishan Kishan’s knock was like icing on the cake. Iyer came to the crease and hit the bowlers confidently for 2 long sixes. He scored 57 runs at a strike rate of 203.57 to take the team’s total to 199. Despite Ishan Kishan’s 89-run knock, Shreyas Iyer is the most picked player of all for this match.
This 23-year-old Sri Lankan batsman has made his debut in international cricket in 2021. In 18 T20Is, he has scored 486 runs. Playing against the strong Indian bowlers is definitely a new experience for Nissanka as he got bowled on the first delivery of Lankan innings but he is capable of scoring huge knocks once he settles himself on the crease. He is the top picked batsman from the Sri Lankan side after Asalanka.
