SriLanka vs India Second ODI Match

So today is the second match of the series which is going on between SriLanka and India. If we talk about the prediction so last match made it very difficult to predict that which team can win today match because SriLankan team make a good comeback after losing the T20I series with 3-0. But they gave a very tough time to Indian team in the last match. So they showed that they have ability to face Indian team. And I think in today match they will again suprise us. So I am expecting an interesting match again. On both sides bowling line is looking more strong as compare to batting line. So let's see what they will do in today match.

Having won the first three T20I matches, India were confident that they could win the ODI match, but the Sri Lankan team thwarted their attitude in the first ODI match. However, in this second one-day match today, the Indian team will try their best, but Sri Lanka is not a team to leave here. So the performance of these two teams will be the toughest today, based on this performance I have bet for Sri Lanka team in today's match.

Because the Sri Lankan team will try hard to win this match, because if they can manage the regular bowling and batting properly then the captain of the Pakistan team will definitely have the most chance to win this match today.

If the performance of the Sri Lankan bowlers in the last match continues in today's match, then Sri Lanka can definitely win today. However, it is certainly a tough challenge to dream of winning against India. But I think the batsmen will have a big impact in the match for the Sri Lankan team. Poor batting by the Sri Lankan batsmen in the last match did not enlarge their score. Despite their bowlers created massive pacers against India but in the end they could not win. However, in today's match, both teams will try their best to win. I think chances will be higher for those who win the toss and decide to bowl. But if the Indian batsmen are aggressive then they will be able to give a big target or have the ability to chase any target.

Sri Lanka will have a much tougher task to beat India. However, Sri Lanka's performance in the first match was very commendable. Even in the last T20 match Sri Lankan players fought hard against India. Especially the Sri Lankan bowlers are in good form on this pitch.

The second match will also be held in Colombo. So it is assumed that this will not be a batting friendly pitch either. So the bowlers of both the teams have a chance to perform well. In the first match we saw that the Indian bowlers were able to bowl well at the beginning of the innings. But due to Dunith Wellalage's innings of 67 runs, the Sri Lankan team was able to set a big target of 231 runs. But I will expect better performance from India in today's match. India has the ability to beat Sri Lanka by a huge margin.

But if the Indian batsmen are aggressive then they will be able to give a big target or have the ability to chase any target.

Even if the Sri Lankan team shows the same bowling performance in today's match it will be good for them but how can we expect that the Indian Batting will show the same performance too?
It is highly likely that the Indian team must have done their homework well and they will not let this match go away. Also this is a crucial match as the one who take the lead today cannot lose the series and the team that loses today cannot win the series. This match is of utmost importance for both teams.

After opening classic, Sri Lanka and India look to break tie and get the lead

Pathirana, Madhushanka, Thusara and now Hasaranga — SL bowling dept looks bleak.

Tough luck for the Lankan team, but they still have Wellalage who is an epic all-rounder especially on their turf which is why I wouldn't worry too much about their bowling line-up. Their batting line-up is more concerning in comparison.

On the other hand, India seems overdependent on Axar these days which is why other players like Iyer etc need to step up.

[virasog]

I actually hope that the next match is going to be very competitive. I do not want to see one-sided matches. Because those are not entertaining to me. I like to see competitive matches just like the first match. Even though I do want to see competitive matches, I honestly think that the next match is not going to be that competitive. Because India is going to be ready for a big win in the next match. It is already a shame for India to not be able to win against Sri Lanka when the target was so low. In the next match, they are going to go all-out attack on Sri Lanka and will try to win the match as convincingly as possible.

I think in today's match between India and Sri Lanka, the Indian team will go with the some changes in the team as we have seen the performance of their team in the last match.

So they must have to go with changes otherwise they could even lose this match. Last time their luck worked that the Sri Lanka team could not make more at least 10 runs otherwise India players were losing that match. Let’s see what will happen today, I hope the Indian team will play good. By the way, the Sri Lanka team have to go with no changes in the team as it looks a good playing XI.

Yes, for sure the changes will happen today in the Indian team. According to the sources, Riyan Parag in the team in the place of Washington Sundar. This change must be made because in the last match, he did 9 overs which was very expensive for the team and not good overs, he picked just one wicket.
While on the batting side, he made just 5 score when the team was in trouble then for sure he will change today in this match. Also in the last match, we saw poor performance by Shubman Gill, they think they have to replace him too and Rishabh Pant could place in the place of Shubman Gill.



Washington Sundar was too expensive in that ODI

True, SL batting is in terrible form these days, especially middle order, Wellalage saved the day in last odi, otherwise it was same story as T20.

In today's match also, I'm more interested in how SL middle order performs than anything else lol

Sri Lanka won the toss in today's match as well. And on this pitch Sri Lanka will win the toss and decide to bat. If the Sri Lankan team can collect around 220-250 in today's match then it will definitely be a good target. It is not easy to collect more than 200 on this pitch in the second innings. Moreover, the Sri Lankan bowlers are in very good form.

Sri Lankan opener Pathum Nissanka did not play well today. He could not add any runs to the scoreboard. But the innings of Avishka Fernando and Kusal Mendis were much needed. Avishka Fernando
40 runs and Kusal Mendis managed to collect 30 runs.

At the end of 20 overs, Sri Lanka team collected 81 runs, Sri Lanka team lost three wickets. Like the first match, Sri Lanka's batting is very slow today. However, if the batsmen of the middle order can bat well, Sri Lanka can give a target of more than 220.

The current position of Sri Lanka at the moment I think it would have been good for them if they could have scored a few more runs. They are trying to play catch up though. 4 wickets have fallen so far with their total amassing 130. If Sri Lanka managed to score 170-180 at this stage, a big score would have been possible for them. I want to keep India ahead even in this condition. But a lot can change depending on how Sri Lanka play in the remaining 20 overs. If they can dominate today's match the way Sri Lanka bowled in the first match, it will surely be a competitive match.

Sri Lanka won the toss in today's match as well. And on this pitch Sri Lanka will win the toss and decide to bat. If the Sri Lankan team can collect around 220-250 in today's match then it will definitely be a good target. It is not easy to collect more than 200 on this pitch in the second innings.

Sri Lankan opener Pathum Nissanka did not play well today. He could not add any runs to the scoreboard. But the innings of Avishka Fernando and Kusal Mendis were much needed. Avishka Fernando
40 runs and Kusal Mendis managed to collect 30 runs.

At the end of 20 overs, Sri Lanka team collected 81 runs, Sri Lanka team lost three wickets. Like the first match, Sri Lanka's batting is very slow today. However, if the batsmen of the middle order can bat well, Sri Lanka can give a target of more than 220.

Sri Lankan batsmen are batting better in today's match compared to the first match. I would say Sri Lankan batsmen are batting responsibly today. At the end of 31 overs Sri Lanka collected 132 runs losing 4 wickets. Sri Lankan batsmen are collecting an average of 4.2 runs per over. As the Sri Lankan team has lost just 4 wickets, there is still a big chance of giving away a target of 220+ runs.

Charith Asalanka and Janith Liyanage are now at the crease. Both are capable of batting well. Wellalage also has the ability to play big innings. If Sri Lanka somehow manage to score 250 runs in today's match then I would say Sri Lanka will definitely win.

[Out of mind]

Sri Lanka vs India 2nd ODI match is not doing very well batting performance in today's match. Sri Lanka team has lost six wickets at the moment due to which they are under pressure now they are not batting well due to which their runs are not increasing. In today's match Sri Lankan team batsman Avishka Fernando he was able to bat a little bit well all the other batsmen could not bat very well. In today's match, Sri Lanka team collected 153 runs for the loss of 6 wickets in 39 overs, comparatively Sri Lanka did not collect a good score today.  And I think in this match today team India will try hard enough to win and beat Sri Lanka today as favorite team today I think India will win.

India vs Sri Lanka

The 2nd match of Sri Lanka vs India ODI series has started. Sri Lanka won the toss and decided to bat. So far Sri Lanka have collected 188 runs in 44 overs losing 6 wickets. Even today Sri Lankan batting line failed, Sri Lankan batsmen could not perform well. So far no Sri Lankan batsman has scored fifty runs. Avishka Fernando was dismissed for 40 off 62 balls. Dunith Wellalage and Kamindu Mendis are at the crease, both of them will need to perform well if the score is to go up. Dunith Wellalage batted brilliantly in last match, let's see how he performs today. Looking at the performance of the Sri Lankan batsmen, it seems that even today they will not be able to score 250+ runs. Let's see how many runs Sri Lanka can give the target in the end.

Things are not looking good for Sri Lanka in this match either. If we remember in the last match Sri Lankan team were able to score 230 runs and in this match too, I think they will give us a similar target. Right now they are around 208 runs and they have four more overs to go. India have a good chance in this match as I am sure they will not collapse this time as they did last time.



Regarding the Sri Lankan innings, at one time it looked that Avishka Fernando and Kusal Mendis had a good partnership, but it did not last long and after that the batsmen to follow didn't get settled and they kept on losing wickets. With a team as strong as the Indians, anything less than 250-260 won't be enough on this pitch.

[Popkon6]

Sri Lanka team has performed very well today but if they can have bowling performance like the first ODI match then they can win for sure. Because he scored 230 runs in the first ODI match and the match was drawn, but in today's match he collected 240 runs for 9 wickets. So in today's match there is enough opportunity for Sri Lankan team to win, Sri Lankan victory is guaranteed only if the first 4 to 5 wickets of Indian team fall. Now just waiting for the good performance of Srilanka team, first match Asalanka he recorded so today Srilanka team will definitely depend on him to win, let's see what Sri Lankan bowlers can do for their team in the end.

Sri Lanka team has collected 240 runs in today's match if they can have a good bowling performance against India then there is definitely a chance to win. With the number of runs that Sri Lanka scored today for the loss of nine wickets, I think they can expect to win with this run if they can deliver a good bowling performance. But a win against India will be very difficult for Sri Lanka as the Indian team will surely play their responsibility and India will show their great performance. India will definitely want to beat Sri Lanka in the second ODI, although Sri Lanka's victory is possible if the Sri Lankan team can put India under pressure in this way. But I think in today's match Indian team will not give up so easily but they will work hard to win this match.

Even though SriLanka made 240 runs but i think this will be easily chased by India. I thought that the odds for the India team will be way less but just in the innings break, i got the odd 1.22 for India. This is a very decent odd and i am placing my bet here.
When the Indian innings will start and if they made 20 or 30 quick runs without losing wickets, then i am sure that odds will drop considerably for India. For SriLanka you will still get above 4 odds but the chances for SriLanka win are quite slim.

So far the first power play has not seen the fall of wickets, if the Indian team has to lose then the Sri Lankan team should perform well in terms of bowling. But if the Indian team can perform batting like this then there will be more chances of failure in the end. 

Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill, two of India's most trusted batsmen, entered the field as opening batsmen. If they can perform well, I think India will win, and if they want to disrupt the win, Sri Lanka will definitely have to do well in terms of bowling. So far the Indian team has scored 66 runs in 9 overs.

[Swordsoffreedom]

True, SL batting is in terrible form these days, especially middle order, Wellalage saved the day in last odi, otherwise it was same story as T20.

In today's match also, I'm more interested in how SL middle order performs than anything else lol

Sri Lanka won the toss in today's match as well. And on this pitch Sri Lanka will win the toss and decide to bat. If the Sri Lankan team can collect around 220-250 in today's match then it will definitely be a good target. It is not easy to collect more than 200 on this pitch in the second innings.

Sri Lankan batsmen are batting better in today's match compared to the first match. I would say Sri Lankan batsmen are batting responsibly today. At the end of 31 overs Sri Lanka collected 132 runs losing 4 wickets. Sri Lankan batsmen are collecting an average of 4.2 runs per over. As the Sri Lankan team has lost just 4 wickets, there is still a big chance of giving away a target of 220+ runs.

Charith Asalanka and Janith Liyanage are now at the crease. Both are capable of batting well. Wellalage also has the ability to play big innings. If Sri Lanka somehow manage to score 250 runs in today's match then I would say Sri Lanka will definitely win.

I am very disappointed with the performance of the Indian players today. India could not win even in the first match. And the Indian team is definitely going to lose today's match. Indian bowlers are not doing well today either. Apart from Washington Sundar and Kuldeep Yadav, no other Indian bowler is bowling well today. Arshdeep conceded 58 runs in his 9 overs and failed to pick up a single wicket. Mohammad Siraj's bowling was also not good today.

Apart from the Indian bowlers, the Indian batsmen's performance is also good today. Like in the first match, today also India's two openers batted well. But the performance of the next batsmen was very bad. India collected 97 runs from the opening pair. But India lost 6 wickets to collect 147 runs. And right now the match is completely under the control of the Sri Lankan bowlers.

Experienced batsmen like Kohli, Dube, Iyer and Rahul performed very poorly today. At the end of 26 overs, India managed to collect 155 runs by losing 6 wickets. India need to collect 86 more runs to win.

[Bitcoin Smith]

Interesting match, SL is on the top and Indian batting struggling against second stream SL bowling unit is more shocking. The new man picked all the 6 wickets so far and India is under deep trouble.

Axar and Washington Sundar has to pull this match somehow and if they do it then it's definitely good for their future in in the team. Next match they should replace Dube with Pant to make the middle order more consistent.

At the moment, India still needs 61 runs and the last recognised batting pair is stitching good partnership so far.

SriLanka vs India Second ODI Match

So today is the second match of the series which is going on between SriLanka and India. If we talk about the prediction so last match made it very difficult to predict that which team can win today match because SriLankan team make a good comeback after losing the T20I series with 3-0. But they gave a very tough time to Indian team in the last match. So they showed that they have ability to face Indian team. And I think in today match they will again suprise us. So I am expecting an interesting match again. On both sides bowling line is looking more strong as compare to batting line. So let's see what they will do in today match.

Having won the first three T20I matches, India were confident that they could win the ODI match, but the Sri Lankan team thwarted their attitude in the first ODI match. However, in this second one-day match today, the Indian team will try their best, but Sri Lanka is not a team to leave here. So the performance of these two teams will be the toughest today, based on this performance I have bet for Sri Lanka team in today's match.

India is now driving its seat because they are currently batting at 181 runs by losing 6 wickets in 32 overs of the match. The match was under control by the Indian team because they needed just 60 runs from 108 balls and 4 wickets in hand. the required run rate would be under 4 runs, and it's an easy win for India if they don't lose any wickets. Axar Patel batted well scored 44 runs not out from just 42 balls and was very close to his well-deserved and match winning half century. The partnership between Axar Patel and Washington Sunder is more than 30 runs. if Sri Lanka wins this match they need to break this partnership otherwise the match will be gone from their hands

[ZAINmalik75]

Sri Lanka team has performed very well today but if they can have bowling performance like the first ODI match then they can win for sure. Because he scored 230 runs in the first ODI match and the match was drawn, but in today's match he collected 240 runs for 9 wickets. So in today's match there is enough opportunity for Sri Lankan team to win, Sri Lankan victory is guaranteed only if the first 4 to 5 wickets of Indian team fall. Now just waiting for the good performance of Srilanka team, first match Asalanka he recorded so today Srilanka team will definitely depend on him to win, let's see what Sri Lankan bowlers can do for their team in the end.

SiriLankan played really well and scored a decent target while batting in second match of the odi series, while batting first scored 240 target which isn't much but enough abit for them to defend against Indian lineup, it's true that none of SiriLankan scored huge single handedly like half century or something amove that but still they mange to scored a magnificent Target and compared to them Indian were looking under huge pressure while just chasing that required target, just Rohit try to add his hundred percent while after that just Patel try to put his team in revival mode but as soon as they lost their wicket thier opponent start to get dominance over them and now they required 60 around runs and lose his 7th wicket which isn't a positive indication for Indian team. In my mind one more wicket will determine the results but if they manage to build partnership then they have dozen of balls left while just required a small target so let's see how w.sundar safe his team
