The second of three IT20s between India and Sri Lanka takes place on Saturday evening at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamsala. India won the opening game of the series by 62 runs on Thursday at the Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow. Read on as we preview this match. The second game of the series gets underway at 19:00 local time.
India were once again too strong for their opponents in IT20 cricket. They have now won ten successive games in this format and will be confident of making it eleven.
Sri Lanka were way off the pace in the opening IT20 but should give a better account of themselves in this clash. However, they will need a big improvement to win the match.
The India v Sri Lanka series will be broadcast via the Sony Network in India. Willow TV and Flow Sports will show the games in the USA and the Caribbean. Sky TV will broadcast in the UK.
Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on Disney+ and Sky Go.
Sri Lanka won the toss and chose to field first on Thursday. We expect both captains to put the other side into bat first if they win the toss in this game.
We expect the pace off bowlers to have the most success on this wicket. Fast bowlers will enjoy it if they have a good array of variations as the ball will grip. A par score will be 155-160.
There is a strong chance of rain with the temperature no higher than 11 degrees throughout this game.

India have an exceptional amount of strength in depth in IT20 cricket, so the resting of Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant from the squad did not prevent them from a big win on Thursday. We are not aware of any injuries and so expect to see an unchanged side.
India can not stop winning in this format as they target their eleventh straight IT20 victory.
Rohit Sharma (c), Ishan Kishan (wk), Shreyas Iyer, Sanju Samson, Venkatesh Iyer, Deepak Hooda, Ravindra Jadeja, Jasprit Bumrah, Harshal Patel, Yuzvendra Chahal, Bhuvneshwar Kumar
Sri Lanka’s star all-rounder, Wanindu Hasaranga, is still unwell after having become ill during the tour of Australia. As a result he will miss the entire IT20 series against India. We expect to see no changes in the Sri Lanka XI for this game but the top order must score more boundaries.
Sri Lanka have won only one of their last five IT20s
Pathum Nissanka, Kamil Mishara, Dinesh Chandimal (wk), Charith Asalanka, Janith Liyanage, Dasun Shanaka (c), Chamika Karunaratne, Dushmantha Chameera, Jeffrey Vandersay, Praveen Jayawickrama, Lahiru Kamara
India’s win on Thursday ended Sri Lanka’s mini-streak of two wins in a row over them in this format.
| Matches Played | IND Won | SL Won | Tie | NR | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Overall | 23 | 15 | 7 | 0 | 1 |
| Last 5 | 5 | 3 | 2 | 0 | 0 |
The bookies fancy India to make it 2-0 in this game.
Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma produced a fantastic opening partnership which meant that Sri Lanka were never in the game in Lucknow. They will be looking to repeat that again in this match.
Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan and Sanju Samson are our batting tips for India. Sharma will be targeting his 31st score of 50+ in this format in this match.
Pathum Nissanka, Charith Asalanka and Janith Liyanage are our batting recommendations for Sri Lanka. Nissanka has a top score of 73 in this format.
For India, Jasprit Bumrah, Yuzvendra Chahal and Bhuvneshwar Kumar are our bowling tips. Bumrah went wicketless on Thursday but we expect to see him back dismissing batters in this game.
For Sri Lanka, Dushmantha Chameera, Lahiru Kamara and Praveen Jayawickrama are our bowling tips. Jayawickrama was economical in the opening IT20 and was threatening.
There were some encouraging signs for Sri Lanka with the bat in the opening IT20 but overall their bowling was nowhere near penetrative enough. Wanindu Hasaranga will be a big miss for the visitors throughout the series and we are predicting another win for India in this game.
