Charith Asalanka has been a rare positive for Sri Lanka in recent weeks. He top scored with 44 from 26 on Sunday and is a good tip for Sri Lanka’s leading run scorer in this game. Wanindu Hasaranga returned from injury in the first IT20 and took 2-28. He is a strong choice for Sri Lanka’s top wicket taker in this match.
Shikhar Dhawan continued his impressive international form with 46 from 36 balls in Sunday’s game. Batting at the top of the order, he is a reliable option for India’s leading run scorer in this clash. Bhuvneshwar Kumar is a real threat in IT20 cricket and proved his worth again with 4-22 in the opening game. He is our recommendation for India’s top wicket taker in this game.
With the gloves, Minod Bhanuka took 2 catches before hitting 10 runs on Sunday. For India, Sanju Samson can be backed as top wicket-keeper for India.

This second IT20 gets underway at the R.Premadasa Stadium at 11:00 local time.
Only 2 Sri Lanka batters made scores over 26 in the opening IT20. With more runs on the board, bowlers Dushmantha Chameera and Wanindu Hasaranga can make a real difference with the ball.
Shikhar Dhawan and Suryakumar Yadav stood out for India with the bat alongside Bhuvneshwar Kumar with the ball. When the top players perform, India are very hard to stop on this tour.

Once again there were positives for Sri Lanka to take in defeat to India on Sunday. The performance of Charith Asalanka on debut will have encouraged the likes of Wanindu Hasaranga and Dushmantha Chameera that better times lay ahead for this team.
SL Key Players
Avishka Fernando - The opening batsman averages 46.25 against India across the IT20 and ODIs on this tour. He is becoming a key part of the batting line-up.
Wanindu Hasaranga - The spinner is one of the best at his art in the international game and he showed this again in Sunday’s game taking the big wickets of Sanju Samson and Suryakumar Yadav.
Dushmantha Chameera - The pace bowler has returned to his wicket-taking best over recent games and dismissed Prithvi Shaw and Hardik Pandya.
SL Team Form
Sri Lanka have struggled across all formats over recent months but did show signs of some green shoots in Sunday’s defeat.
SL vs IND Dream11 Team Prediction, Captain, Vice Captain
Wicket-keeper
Minod Bhanuka (8.5) and Sanju Samson (8.5) will be our wicket-keepers. Both got starts with the bat on Sunday.
Batsmen
Shikhar Dhawan (10.5), Nitish Rana (8), Avishka Fernando (9) and Charith Asalanka (8.5) are our batsmen. Dhawan and Asalanka were the top batting performers in the opening game.
All-rounders
Wanindu Hasaranga (9.5) will be our all-rounder. He is useful with the bat and a match-winner with the ball.
Bowlers
Bhuvneshwar Kumar (9), Rahul Chahar (8.5), Dushmantha Chameera (9), and Varun Chakaravarthy are our bowlers. Kumar led the way with 4-22 from 3.3 overs on Sunday.
Captain/Vice-captain
Shikhar Dhawan will be captain, Wanindu Hasaranga his deputy
The top players all performed in Sunday’s IT20 opener with Shikhar Dhawan, Suryakumar Yadav and Bhuvneshwar Kumar standing out. None of the bowlers were overly expensive and all 6 who were used contributed with at least 1 wicket. For today's match, 8 players will not be available and 5 new players Ishan Porel, Sandeep Warrier, Arshdeep Singh, Sai Kishore, Simarjeet Singh have been added to the squad who were with the team as net bowlers.
IND Key Players
Shikhar Dhawan - The captain hit 5 boundaries in his 36 balls and was all set to properly tee off when he was dismissed in the opening game.
Sanju Samson - Sanju Samson is the most talented batsman in the side. If he don't throw away his start he can take the game away from opponents
Bhuvneshwar Kumar - The experienced pace bowler is very at home in this format. He has combined figures of 6-37 from his last 2 IT20s.
IND Team Form
It was no surprise to see India return to winning ways with a really strong side picked for the opening IT20. They have won their last 3 games in this format.
Wanindu Hasaranga, Isuru Udana and Dushmantha Chameera are the top bowlers for Sri Lanka. Hasaranga only missed 1 game but made an instant impact on his return.
With the ball, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Rahul Chahar and Chetan Sarkariya are the bowlers to watch for India. Kumar finished off the Sri Lanka innings with great skill in the first game.
Realistically, Sri Lanka’s batting line-up is far weaker than India’s. As a result, they struggle to bat out the 20 overs unless 3 or 4 players make significant scores. We are predicting another win for India to wrap up the IT20 series at the earliest opportunity.
