After a convincing win in Lucknow, India will look to wrap up the series in the 2nd T20I against Sri Lanka at Dharamsala on February 26 (Saturday).
The hosts will look to maintain their all-round performance heading into the second T20I, with several players looking to stake a claim for a playing XI spot with the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2022 just a few months away.
The visitors, on the other hand, would be hoping for a complete reset with both the bat and ball in their quest to keep the series alive. The only positive was Charith Asalanka’s half-century in the 1st T20I and Sri Lanka will look to bank on that to regain their form.
