Jeffery Vandersay, the leg-break bowler was unlucky but bowled well and so did Praveen Jayawickrama the left-arm spinner as there was help for the slow bowlers in the low and slow wicket of Lucknow. In batting, apart from vice-captain Charith Asalanka's patient innings, no batter was able to settle down. Therefore the likes of Pathum Nissanka, Dasun Shanaka and Dinesh Chandimal need to take responsibility and put on a good batting show.

Now moving to the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala, Dasun Shanaka and his men would be looking for inspiration as they are missing out on key men in the series. The main problem in the first game was the execution from bowlers and the catch dropping from fielders. Lahiru Kumara, the quickest of all the Lankan bowlers was all over the place in the first game and so was Chamika Karunaratne.

IND vs SL | 2nd T20I | Live Updates: How could the pitch behave at Dharamsala?

The Dharamshala wicket would definitely have more pace and bounce than what was on offer in Lucknow. It will be high scoring venue no doubt as the ball will come onto the bat nicely. However, since the temperatures would be down to single-digit from 07:00 pm onwards, the time of the start of the match, the ball is likely to swing in the initial overs as there would also be cloud cover.
