Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium - Pune, India
Suryakumar Yadav got off to a poor start in this series but we expect him to come back with a big score in this game. He is our pick for India’s highest run scorer in this IT20. With the ball, Shivam Mavi took 4-22 on Tuesday and he is well worth backing as India’s top wicket taker in this game.
Pathum Nissanka will be keen to make up for his three-ball innings on Tuesday and has a strong recent T20 record. The opener is our tip for Sri Lanka’s highest run scorer in this match. Wanindu Hasaranga took 1-22 from his four overs in the first IT20 and he is a strong choice for Sri Lanka’s top wicket taker in Pune.
We recommend backing Suryakumar Yadav to hit the most sixes in this match.

The second IT20 of the three match series between India and Sri Lanka takes place on Thursday evening at the Maharashtra Stadium. The opening clash was a thriller in Mumbai with India winning by two runs as they successfully defended their total of 162-5. Read on as we preview this match. The second game of the series gets underway in Pune at 19:00 local time.
India were nowhere near their best in Tuesday’s opening game of the series but saw big performances from a few players. We expect more players to step up in this match.
Sri Lanka showed plenty of character to stay in the chase of the first match and very nearly came out on top of the final over. With a slightly better performance, they could well challenge again in this game.

IND vs SL, Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium Pitch Report
Quick bowlers have a better overall record in T20 fixtures at this venue than spinners and we expect that to continue in this game. A par score will be around 170 in Pune.
Pune Weather Report
There will be some cloud cover but with no danger of rain during the evening of this game. Humidity levels will go beyond 50% but not enough to cause problems for the fielding side in the second half of the match.

India Team News & Playing 11
IND Team News
Captain Hardik Pandya was only able to bowl three overs on Tuesday after suffering from cramp and had to leave the field at one stage. However, he assured fans in the post-game press conference that there was nothing to worry about and we expect him to be fully fit to lead the team in this match.
IND Key Players
Suryakmuar Yadav - The number three batter hit one four on Tuesday and we do not think that he has suddenly become a bad player. He will enjoy the pace of the wicket and we expect a big score in this match.
Hardik Pandya - The captain returned impressive figures of 0-12 with all three of his overs being sent down during the Powerplay. He will look forward to bowling on this pitch in Pune.
Shivam Mavi- the debutant equalled the most wickets taken by an India player on their T20I debut in the first game. He was also the most economical of all the Indian players to bowl four overs.
IND Team Form
India have lost only one of their last seven IT20s and showed that they can get through the big moments in Tuesday’s win.
Kasun Rajitha was the only Sri Lanka bowler to not take a wicket and to be expensive in the first IT20 but he had a very impressive debut at this venue seven years ago and we expect him to retain his place in the side. There are no injury worries in the team ahead of this game.
SL Key Players
Pathum Nissanka - The opener got a good delivery from the debutant, Shivam Mavi, and was bowled at the Wankhede Stadium. However, he is a level headed man and could well make a big contribution in this match.
Wanindu Hasaranga - The vice-captain produced with both bat and ball in Mumbai. He hit quick runs after picking up the wicket of Sanju Samson and will be a crucial player for Sri Lanka in this game.
Maheesh Theekshana - The spinner trapped Shubman Gill lbw in his first over and turned the momentum of the game. He is a regular wicket taker across all formats on all pitches.
SL Team Form
Sri Lanka have struggled in this format since the Super 12 stage of the 2022 T20 World Cup. They have won only one of their last five IT20s.
India extended their overall head to head lead over Sri Lanka to 10 matches with the narrow victory at the Wankhede Stadium on Tuesday. Nine of the last 12 matches have been won by India.

India vs Sri Lanka Betting Odds
Although the opening game of the series was very close, the bookies are backing India to win this game to take a 2-0 lead in the series.
It was the inexperienced fast bowlers for India who made the biggest impact on the opening game. And with this pitch likely to benefit the quick bowlers, it would not be a surprise to see the same players make the difference in Pune.
IND vs SL Top Team Batsmen
We are backing Suryakumar Yadav, Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan with the bat for India. Yadav is the clear favourite to top score for India and he looked full of confidence in spite of his short stay at the crease on Tuesday. Kishan impressed at the top of the order and hit 37 in the first game of the series.
Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis and Dhananjaya de Silva are our batting picks for Sri Lanka. Nissanka is the bookies choice to be Sri Lanka’s highest run scorer and he has produced the goods for his side on many occasions over the last 12 months. Dhananjaya has the highest IT20 score of any player at this venue.
Yuzvendra Chahal, Axar Patel and Shivam Mavi are our selections to be the top bowlers for India. Chahal has taken wickets in nine of his 11 IT20s against Sri Lanka and he has the top odds with the bookies. Patel was given the final over to bowl in Mumbai and clearly has the confidence of his captain.
We recommend Wanindu Hasaranga, Maheesh Theekshana and Kasun Rajitha with the ball for Sri Lanka. Hasaranga bowls in the middle overs and regularly picks up wickets with batters looking to increase the run-rate. Rajitha went wicketless on Tuesday but has been in excellent international form over recent months.
Many pundits expected a competitive opening game of the series but few could have predicted such a close contest on Tuesday evening. We expect this match to be close again but are expecting India’s batters to produce more runs at the top of the order. Overall we predict that Sri Lanka will be competitive but are backing India to get another win.
