Team India will take on Sri Lanka in the 2nd T20I of the three match series as the series moves ahead. Team India go into this game as the favourites.

Date and Time : 7th January 2020, 7:00 PM IST

Venue : Holkar Stadium, Indore

The Indian team will be disappointed the way their first match of 2020 was washed out due rain but as we move on their’s another game to play which is where we start the year.

Indore’s pitch is batsmen friendly one and India have a lot of good options in that department.

Team India will remember the last time they played a T20I against SL at this venue, they scored a plenty of runs and SL weren’t able to chase.

So they will look to score 200 if batting first. While cheaply bowl them out if bowl first. Dew might also play a factor.

On the other hand, Sri Lanka also didn’t get the match practice in the previous game. They will look to start off the year in fashion.

They know India are very strong at home and they need to do something special to outplay them.

Their batsmen need to show some form in this shortened series. As for bowling, Sri Lanka has always had strength in it and their fielding is also good. So good luck to them.

India are ahead in terms of the head to head in T20I’s against Sri Lanka and they will look to continue the good work.
