India vs Sri Lanka Dream11 Prediction & Preview: 2nd T20I

India and Sri Lanka will collide in the second T20I of the three-match T20I series at Holkar Stadium in Indore. We will provide IND vs SL Dream11 Prediction, Probable Playing XI and Fantasy Cricket Tips. 

The first T20I at Guwahati was abandoned due to rain and pitch conditions.

Team India will be eager to begin the year 2020 with a bang and continue its good international form ahead when they compete with neighbors Sri Lanka tomorrow. They recently outplayed South Africa, Bangladesh, and West Indies at home and are in good zeal preparing for the T20I World Cup later this year. Rohit Sharma and Mohammad Shami are rested for this series while mighty Bumrah and Shikhar Dhawan return in the squad after recovering from injuries. 

Sri Lanka on the other hand, are not in a good form currently and were recently clean-sweep by Australians. They have recalled longer format specialists Angelo Mathews and Dhananjaya De Silva to strengthen the T20I squad while Nuwan Pradeep will miss out due to injury. Skipper Malinga will also be eager to improve his captaincy record and find an optimum team combination before the start of the T20I World Cup. 

With just two matches left in the series, both teams will be eager to get a victory tomorrow.

Top picks for IND vs SL Dream11 Team Prediction

IND:

Virat Kohli: One of the world’s best batsmen Virat will bat at one down and can destroy any bowling line-up if he is set and gets going. He will be a must-pick in SL vs IND Dream11 team.

Lokesh Rahul: He is in excellent form and played match-winning knocks in the last series against Windies. He can be a good choice of captain in mini grand leagues.

Shikhar Dhawan: In the absence of Rohit, Shikhar will open alongside Rahul and will be eager to score plenty of runs to confirm his slot at the top.

Jasprit Bumrah: Yorker King Bumrah returns from injury and can destroy Sri Lanka batting line-up single-handedly. He can be tried as vice-captain if India bowls first.

Shreyas Iyer: He is a consistent performer and stays in good form. He can be a good punt in your team if openers fail.

Rishabh Pant: He is an attacking batsman and can lay havoc on his day. However, He lacks consistency at the international level.

Kuldeep Yadav: He has the wicket-taking ability and can be a good pick in your fantasy team. 

Navdeep Saini: Pacer Saini has immense talent and can outplay batsmen with his pace and bounce. He performed well in his debut series.

Shivam Dube: Pace all-rounder Dube scored attacking 54-run knock in the second T20I against Windies and can also bowl a few overs of medium pace.

SL:

Lasith Malinga: He is one of the best bowlers in T20I format and can be lethal in initial as well as death overs. If Sri Lanka wants to restrict Indian batsmen, Then Malinga needs to fire.

Kusal Perera: He is a very attacking player and can anchor big innings. He will bat in the middle order and can be a good choice of captain in grand leagues.

Avishka Fernando: He is a talented youngster and plays at an attacking strike rate. He can score plenty of runs at batting-friendly wickets such as Holkar stadium.

Bhanuka Rajapaksa: He is averaging 32.75 in five international T20I’s till now and also performed well during BPL 2019. 

Isuru Udana: Pace all-rounder Udana has plenty of variations with the ball and can also score quick cameos down the order if required.

Dasun Shanaka: Shanaka can score quick runs with the bat for the team and can also bowl a few overs of medium pace. He is in good form recently and also lead the team during the Pakistan tour.

Dhananjaya De Silva: Spin all-rounder Silva has good potential with bat and ball. He has also performed well recently in longer formats but is yet to prove his caliber in the T20 format.
