SL vs IND, 2nd T20I: Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI Updates, Pitch & Weather Report
Match Preview
Sri Lanka will face India in the 2nd T20I match on 27 July at R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo. India cruised to 37-run victory in the 1st match of the series and Suryakumar Yadav’s stunning half-century and Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s 4-wicket haul, was all the more reason to prove their dominance on the Lankans. Sri Lanka needs to polish their batting side as another loss would mean the series is done and dusted for them.
