What is the pitch report for IND vs SL, 2nd ODI?
It is one of the fastest surfaces in India that assists the seamers initially and tends to become flat as the game goes on. The outfield is too fast and the ball races off to the fence very quickly. The dew factor will come into play in the 2nd half hence bowling first is a good option.
Of mutual admiration 🤝, dealing with expectations & starting the year with a glorious 💯

Pre-Match Analysis:
India started their World Cup preparations with a bang as they sealed the 1st ODI with 67 runs. Vintage Virat Kohli is back and struck a stunning century to bag the Player of the Match honors. There was no place for T20 stalwart Suryakumar Yadav as they went with Shreyas Iyer. It was a harsh call on Ishan Kishan who scored a double century in his last ODI against Bangladesh but was also left out as Rohit Sharma wants to provide an extended run for Shubman Gill. They were put under pressure by the Sri Lankan batters with Dasun Shanaka scoring an unbeaten century. Umran Malik was slightly expensive however turned out to be the best bowler for Team India with 3 scalps. Mohammed Siraj was remarkable with the new ball and dismissed Avishka Fernando and Kusal Mendis. Overall it was a complete team effort that handed them a 1-0 lead and they look to wrap up the series with a game left.
Sri Lanka paid a heavy price for dropped chances and ordinary bowling in the 1st ODI as a result they got thrashed by 67 runs. Pathum Nissanka and Dasun Shanaka counter-attacked the bowlers in the middle order to bring fear on the faces of Indian players however it wasn’t sufficient for the visitors to get past the finishing line. They have shown gradual improvements from the last 6-7 months in this format and still fancy their chances of winning the series if they play to their potential. They must win the remaining two matches in order to avoid playing qualifiers for the World Cup as they are placed 9th in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Super League Standings with 77 points.
