India vs Sri Lanka Match Prediction
Team India will lock horns against Sri Lanka in the 2nd T20 of 3 match series at Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune. First T20 was a close encounter where India secured a 2 runs victory over visitors. It was a nail biting match at Wankhede Stadium Mumbai, After losing the toss team India put a total of 162 runs on the board. It is not a tough target at this pitch, at a time Sri Lanka was in a situation to achieve the target but the team lost the wickets in a regular gap and in the last over they needed 13 runs where Axar Patel stopped Sri Lanka 2 runs behind the target.
For India Debutent Shivam Mavi did a fantastic job, by picking 4 wickets he became only the third Indian men's bowler after Barinder Sran and Pragyan Ojha to get a four-wicket haul on their T20I debut. In batting Ishan Kishan and Deepak Hooda played some good knocks.
India has already taken 1-0 lead in the series and Sri Lanka is looking for a comeback so we hope for a close encounter again in the second match of the series.
India vs Sri Lanka Chance of winning
Sri Lanka lost 11 matches in a row at Indian Soil. Team wants to comeback from this shameful record and try to do their best. In the first T20 they were looking challenging at the start but they failed to keep the momentum.

Hosts have already taken a 1-0 lead in this crucial series. Sri Lanka will look for a comeback but having an eye on team India’s performance we expect a 2-1 victory for team India or White wash of Sri Lankan team is also not a big concern of surprise.
