IND vs SL 2nd T20I Live score updates: Weather Forecast

 

The weather in Pune will remain ideal for cricket as humidity will be below 40% making it dry and chilly in the evening, giving swing bowlers an opportunity to do the damage. Not a lot of dew is expected so it will not affect the game either. The temperature will range between 26 degrees at the start of the game at 7 pm IST and 22 degrees at the end of the game around 11 pm IST.

IND vs SL 2nd T20I Live score updates: Pune Pitch Report

 

It was at this stadium in Pune in 2016 that the two teams met and Dasun Shanaka, then just a young bowling all-rounder, unleashed his power of swing bowling and bowled India out for a meagre 101. But then in 2020, India exacted revenge, trumping the visitors by a giant margin of 78 runs.

 

This will now be the third meeting between the two sides. The Pune pitch is way better for batting than it was in 2016, but not as dull for bowling as it was in 2020. So with the correct amount of effort applied, it may turn out to be yet another close affair.

Bhanuka Rajapoaska and Pathum Nissanka have been out of form for quite some time. Sadeera Samarawickrama, who has looked in good touch in the recently concluded Lanka Premier League, must be given a chance. But from the looks of it, it doesn’t seem like Sri Lanka will change its playing 11 after such a close game.

IND vs SL 2nd T20I Live score updates: Playing 11 combinations of India

 

Sanju Samson injured his knee while fielding during the first T20I in Mumbai and has therefore been ruled out of the entire series. To replace him, Jitesh Sharma, the Punjab Kings and Visarbha player has been given his first-ever India call-up. However, it would not be Jitesh getting the chance. Rahul Tripathi will be making his India debut in all likelihood.
