All of Sri Lanka’s top 6 scored over 14 but none of them went beyond 39. Avishka Fernando made 33 at the top of the order and is a solid tip for Sri Lanka’s leading run scorer in this game. With the ball, Wanindu Hasaranga was far and away Sri Lanka’s most economical bowler. If he can entice the Indian batsmen to play more aggressively against him then he is worth backing as Sri Lanka’s leading wicket taker.
Captain Shikhar Dhawan top scored for India with 86* from 95 balls. He is an excellent batsman and a strong option for India’s highest run scorer in this clash. Kuldeep Yadav took 2-48 in the opening ODI and is a good choice for India's leading wicket taker in this match.
With the gloves, Minod Bhanuka took a catch and made 27 as opener for Sri Lanka on Sunday. Ishan Kishan also took a catch but made 59 with the bat in the opening ODI. We recommend Ishan Kishan as the leading wicket-keeper in the second ODI.

Sri Lanka vs India 2nd ODI Prediction & Betting Tips
Sri Lanka will look to level the ODI series against India on Monday afternoon in Colombo. The visitors easily won the opening ODI on Sunday by 7 wickets, reaching their target with over 13 overs remaining. The result means that Sri Lanka have won only 1 of their last 9 completed matches in this format. This second ODI gets underway at the R.Premadasa Stadium at 15:00 local time.
Sri Lanka will be disappointed to see so many of their batsmen get in but unable to convert their starts. If a couple of them can do so then Wanindu Hasaranga will become a real threat with the ball when defending a total.
India, as expected, were easy winners in the opening ODI and did so without breaking too much of a sweat. They will be hoping for a more competitive fixture but should have no problem in registering another win.

SL vs IND Match Toss Prediction
Sri Lanka won the toss and chose to bat in the opening ODI but may find more success if they unleash their undoubtedly talented bowling attack first. We expect Dhawan to elect to field first.
SL vs IND Pitch Report
If India bat first then a score of high 300s could be on the cards. Slow bowlers on both sides had the most success at keeping the run-rate down in the opening ODI.
Weather Report
Slightly hotter than on Sunday with partly cloudy skies delivering temperatures as high as 29 degrees.
Read on for team previews, betting tips, latest odds, and match prediction for Sri Lanka vs India 2nd ODI
Many of the same problems seen in the ODI series against England were there for all to see again on Sunday. Batsmen getting in but then throwing their wicket’s away when well set. The team will only improve through experience so we expect the same XI to be on show in this fixture.
SL Key Players
Avishka Fernando - The opening batsman undoubtedly has talent but he must lead the batting line-up in this game. He has 2 ODI centuries from 21 innings.
Wanindu Hasaranga - Once again his leg-spin bowling was treated with respect by the opposition batsman. He did not manage to contribute much with the bat on Sunday but will be keen to do so in this game.
Dushmantha Chameera - The pace bowler was wicketless in the opening ODI but will have benefited from bowling at the likes of Dhawan. Expect Chameera to bounce back in this game.
SL Team Form
The defeats continue to rack up for this inexperienced Sri Lanka side. They are clearly missing some of their experienced batsmen but they will not be returning anytime soon.
SL vs IND Dream11 Team Prediction, Captain, Vice Captain
Wicket-keeper
Minod Bhanuka (8.5) and Ishan Kishan will be our wicket-keepers. As is the modern way, both bat high up in the order and are more than capable batsmen.
Batsmen
Shikhar Dhawan (10.5), Suryakumar Yadav (9) and Dasun Shanaka (9) are our batsmen. Dhawan looked completely untroubled in his match winning innings on Sunday.
All-rounders
Hardik Pandya (9.5), Wanindu Hasaranga (9.5) and Krunal Pandya (8.5) will be our all-rounders. Both Hasaranga and Krunal Pandya bowled with exceptional control in the opening ODI.
Bowlers
Dushmantha Chameera (9), Yuzvendra Chahal (9) and Kuldeep Yadav (9) are our bowlers. Yadav was the pick of the Indian bowlers on Sunday.
Captain/Vice-captain
Shikhar Dhawan will be captain, Ishan Kishan his deputy
India put down a marker with their big win in the opening ODI. We would expect a similar approach in this game to secure the series before playing around with any combinations or personnel. They will look to reduce their 12 wides bowled in Sunday’s game.
IND Key Players
Shikhar Dhawan - The opener was rarely troubled in his innings of 86*. He has many more gears to go through which we may see in this game.
Krunal Pandya - The left-arm bowler produced career best figures of 1-26 in the opening ODI. If he can keep to an impressive economy rate like that then he will be a real asset to the team.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar - Uncharacteristically the most expensive of the India bowlers in the opening game. The vice-captain will have benefited from the fitness and should perform better in this match.
IND Team Form
After ending the ODI series strongly against England, Sunday’s win means India have lost only 1 game in their last 5 ODIs.
We are backing Avishka Fernando, Dhananjaya de Silva and Minod Bhanuka with the bat for Sri Lanka. All 3 made starts in the opening game and Sri Lanka require one of them to kick on in this game.
For India we have selected Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shaw and Ishan Kishan. Dhawan has continued his excellent ODI form and has the best chance to make a score batting at the top of the order.
With the ball, we recommend Sri Lanka’s Dushmantha Chameera, Wanindu Hasaranga and Chamika Karunaratne. Neither Chameera nor Hasaranga took wickets in the opening game but we expect that to change in this match.
For India, we are backing Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav with the ball. Yadav led the way with 2-48 on Sunday.
As expected, India were far too strong for Sri Lanka in the opening ODI on Sunday. The hosts showed promise with plenty of batsmen getting starts but ultimately, they never looked like posting a troublesome target. We are predicting another win for India in this ODI.
