England vs Sri Lanka 2nd T20 Prediction & Betting Tips
The second of three T20I matches between England and Sri Lanka takes place on Thursday evening at Sophia Gardens, Cardiff. England won the first match in the series by 8 wickets on Wednesday evening, reaching their target of 130 with 17 balls remaining. Read on as we preview this game. This match will get underway in South Wales at 18:30 local time.
England made light work of Sri Lanka in Wednesday’s opening game and will expect to do so again in this match. All of the bowlers took wickets except for Chris Woakes who bowled impressively and went for only 14 runs from his 3 overs.
Sri Lanka will be better for getting the first game out of the way. Only three of their batsmen made double figures and if they can change that statistic in this match they will immediately be more competitive. In Wanindu Hasaranga they have a bowler who England’s batsmen are very wary of.

ENG vs SL Match Toss Prediction
Kusal Perera won the toss on Wednesday and chose to bat first. With an inexperienced side they will look to do the same in this match and build on the performance. Eoin Morgan always prefers to chase.
ENG vs SL Pitch Report
The pitch offered something for everyone on Wednesday with the leg-spin bowlers on both sides the most impressive. Expect a similar surface with the ball gripping for slow bowlers.
Weather Report
High of 19 with plenty of cloud cover. It should stay dry but there is a slight risk of rain in Cardiff during the match.

The home side picked their strongest available side in the first game and will no doubt do so again in this match. Dawid Malan and Jonny Bairstow were injury doubts ahead of Wednesday’s game but both came through without problems and will make the XI once more.
ENG Key Players
Jos Buttler - the England opener was able to play in a restrained manner with the bat in the first game of the series. His unbeaten 68 was good but there is plenty more still to come.
Adil Rashid - the Yorkshire leg-spinner took the crucial wicket of Sri Lanka captain Kusal Perera as well as Wanindu Hasaranga. He was also England’s most economical bowler.
Mark Wood - the fast bowler seems to be even quicker in 2021 than we have seen previously. He picked up the wicket of Dhananjaya whilst peppering the Sri Lanka middle-order with balls above 90mph.
ENG Team Form
England love playing white ball cricket and are an excellent proposition at home in all formats. They win more games than they lose with their ultra attacking brand of limited overs cricket.

Wicket-keeper
Jos Buttler (10) and Kusal Perera (9) will be our wicket-keepers. Buttler showed his class with the gloves and with the bat on Wednesday.
Batsmen
Jason Roy (9), Dawid Malan (9.5) and Danushka Gunathilaka (9) are our batsmen. Malan and Gunathilaka will both want to contribute runs after disappointing returns in the opening game.
All-rounders
Sam Curran (9) and Wanidu Hasaranga (9) will be our all-rounders. Sam Curran impressed with the ball in the first IT20 with Hasaranga the best bowler in the game.
Bowlers
Adil Rashid (9), Chris Woakes (8.5) Dushmantha Chameera (8.5) and Chris Jordan (8.5) are our bowlers. Woakes was the only one of the four to go wicketless on Wednesday but bowled very tightly.

Sri Lanka Team News & Playing 11
SL Team News
This series was never going to be easy for Sri Lanka’s young side and their inexperience was there for all to see in the defeat in the first game. However, there were positives with the performance of Wanindu Hasaranga with the ball and Dasun Shanaka with the bat. The young side will be persevered with.
SL Key Players
Kusal Perera - the captain showed confidence in his batting line-up and had no hesitation in choosing to bat first. As ever, the pressure will be on him to deliver a significant score.
Dasun Shanaka - the all-rounder’s half-century in the opening game was his 6th international score of 50+. Batting at number 6, his runs are crucial for the side.
Wanindu Hasaranga - all of Sri Lanka’s bowlers conceded at least 7.50 runs per over except for Hasaranga. His economy rate of 3.00 is very impressive when you consider he was bowling to Buttler, Roy, Bairstow and Malan.
SL Team Form
Sri Lanka have now won only 1 game in their last 11 IT20s. They last won successive games in this format in October 2019.
We are backing Jos Buttler, Jason Roy and Dawid Malan to make the big runs for England. Buttler was the pick of the batsmen on Wednesday but has another few levels to go if required.
For Sri Lanka we are backing Kusal Perera, Kusal Mendis and Danushka Gunathilaka. They make up three of the top four for Sri Lanka and it is imperative that they deliver.
We expect Adil Rashid, Sam Curran and Chris Jordan to cause many problems to Sri Lanka’s batsmen. They cover left-arm medium, right arm fast and leg-spin.
For Sri Lanka we have backed Wanidu Hasaranga, Isuru Udana and Dushmantha Chameera. Hasaranga was the pick of the bowlers on both sides in the opening game.
Sri Lanka will need to roll the dice and bowl Wanidu Hasaranga earlier in the England innings to give themselves the best chance. England’s batsmen were very wary of him but had the luxury of a modest total to chase. Expect a slightly closer game but England to still win by a comfortable distance.
