Sri Lanka v India 2nd ODI – Team News

• Chamika Karunaratne – The bowler was Sri Lanka’s top batsman in the last game when he smashed a late unbeaten 43. He will be hoping the top order can take more of the burden this time.
• Lasith Embuldeniya – The Sri Lanka spin prospect remains a big miss for his team. He isn’t featuring after he failed to sign a contract to be part of this tour.
• Kusal Mendis – The vice-captain is missing after he had to be sent home from the England tour after breaching biosecurity protocols. Niroshan Dickwella and Danushka Gunathilaka were also reprimanded.
• Shikhar Dhawan – The captain of this tour started with a fine unbeaten 86 in the last game. He formed a solid foundation with fellow opener Prithvi Shaw.
• Ishan Kishan – The talented wicketkeeper-batsman blasted a half-century of his own in the first ODI and could again feature at number three

Sri Lanka v India 2nd ODI – Betting Tips and Prediction

Discover our top tips for this contest. These are based on the form of the players and the best odds on offer.

Back a Half-Century for Shaw

Prithvi Shaw is another member of this India squad that was having a fruitful IPL before this trip.

He carried that forward and looked in great form when smashing 43 of 24 balls in the last game.

The youngster continues to improve and looks ready to take this opportunity with both hands.

Backing him to hit a half-century looks appealing at 2.75 with bet365.

Yadav is a Value Bet

Suryakumar Yadav looks a good price in the top Indian batsman market.

The batsman was having another fine IPL before the postponement and made an excellent 30 off 21 balls to help India to the win in the last match.

He has some big names ahead of him in the order but is worth considering, especially if India lose a couple of early wickets.

He is priced at 5.5 with bet365 to be his team’s top run-scorer.

Pick Hasaranga for Top Bowler

Wanindu Hasaranga failed to take wickets in the previous clash but bowled well and with good economy despite not being rewarded. 

Conditions will suit his spin bowling again and he can be his team’s top wicket-taker this time around.

He can be backed at 3.8 with 20Bet.
