Who Will Win the Match: Match Prediction

In Sri Lanka vs India 2nd T20I, the Indian team is a little strong against the Sri Lankan side. With the absence of their regular skipper Dimuth Karunaratne, Sri Lanka is already is short of one fine batsman.

Although the Indian squad consists of few youngsters and less-experienced players, they have a lot of IPL experienced due to which they are confident in the T20 format.

However, Sri Lanka showed great bowling against India in the 1st T20I. India’s lower-order batsmen are a weak spot and Sri Lanka has managed to crush them in the last two matches. Sri Lanka needs to execute a strong approach in batting to outplay the Indian side.
