The second game of the ODI series between India and Sri Lanka takes place at Eden Gardens Kolkata on Thursday. India won the opening game by 67 runs in Guwahati.

India have won their last two games by 227 runs (against Bangladesh) and 67 runs on Tuesday. The victory over Sri Lanka was never in doubt in Guwahati and we expect India to dominate them again in this match.

IND Team News
In spite of his heroics with the bat in the IT20 series, India had no place for Suryakumar Yadav in their XI for the opening ODI. We expect him to be kept out of this game again and for Shubman Gill to continue at the top of the order in place of Ishan Kishan.
IND Key Players
- Virat Kohli - It is now 45 ODI centuries for the former skipper and 73 international hundreds in total. He has hit exactly 113 in both of his last two games in this format.
- Rohit Sharma - The skipper returned to international cricket with 83 on Tuesday. He will be looking for his third successive ODI half-century in this match.
- Mohammed Siraj - The right arm pace bowler took two wickets in the first six overs of Sri Lanka’s innings. He has picked up at least one wicket in 14 of his 17 ODIs.
IND Team Form
India look to be back to their best in this format and, with the selectors picking their strongest possible ODI team, they are targeting their third successive win.

Who will win India vs Sri Lanka 2nd ODI Match?
Although Dasun Shanaka is in remarkable form for Sri Lanka, the batting unit for India is very strong. The host’s top three made scores of 83, 70 and 113 on Tuesday.
🏆 India vs Sri Lanka Prediction
Although Dasun Shanaka batted very impressively over the final stretch of Sri Lanka’s innings in the opening game, India’s victory was never in doubt. Across both batting and bowling, India were much the better side and particularly with the bat, India have a far superior record. With the likes of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in top form, we are predicting another win for India.
After a competitive IT20 series, there is plenty of excitement ahead of this game. Sri Lanka have a good squad to pick from and they will be looking to build early momentum ahead of the World Cup later this year. However, India’s batting line-up is one of the best in the world and we are predicting a victory for them in this opening match.
