India vs Sri Lanka, 2nd T20I: Toss Report
After the disappointing turn of events in Guwahati, India and Sri Lanka will be looking to finally kickstart 2020 when they lock horns in the second T20I in Indore. The first game in Guwahati was abandoned without a ball being bowled. While the rain stopped within an hour of the scheduled start, the ground staff could not get the pitch ready for the game to go ahead.
India, nonetheless, will be looking to start 2020 on a good note keeping in mind the T20 World Cup later this year. The Men in Blue have not really managed to deliver consistently in the shortest format of the game and skipper Virat Kohli has also accepted that.
The hosts will be favourite against Sri Lanka but the Islanders cannot be taken lightly. Just over a couple of months ago, they had whitewashed top-ranked T20I team Pakistan in a three-match series in their own backyard and do have the ability to spring a surprise against India too.
Match Day!#TeamIndia will take on Sri Lanka in the 2nd T20I at the Holkar Stadium, Indore.
Live action starts at 7 PM IST.
