The first match of the three-match T20 series between India and Sri Lanka was a washout due to damped pitch and mismanagement of ground staff. While, the 2nd T20 is scheduled on 7th January, Tuesday from 7:00 PM at
Indore's Holkar Stadium.
Both the teams will want to win this match in any situation because if they want to win the series they have to win the remaining matches. In such a situation, this match is very important for both the team.
Pitch and Weather Report - Holkar Stadium:
The
Holkar Stadium pitch is considered helpful for the batsmen right from the start, it might give some initial assistance to the fast bowlers if pitched up. We should certainly witness some big hitting from the batters in this match.
Taking about the
weather, there is a forecast of rain for 1 hour and also hazy with a passing shower during the night. But, it might not cause much impact to the match like in Guwahati.
India and Sri Lanka unlikely to make any changes:
Due cancellation of the first match, the chances of experimenting with the team have also reduced because now both the matches in the series have become important. In such a situation, India and Sri Lanka might go with the same playing XI from Guwahati.
Team India's Probable Playing XI:
Shikhar Dhawan, KL Rahul,
Virat Kohli (c), Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant (wk), Shivam Dube, Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Navdeep Saini, Jasprit Bumrah.
Sri Lanka's Probable Playing XI:
Danushka Gunatnilaka, Avishka Fernando, Kusal Perera (wk), Oshada Fernando, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Dhananjaya de Silva, Dasun Shanaka, Isuru Udana, Wanindu Hasaranga, Lahiru Kumara, Lasith Malinga (c).
