India really were not all that bad in the second match. Yes they lost, but it was a close game which ultimately came down to the final over. They started off well and were gradually building a nice score, but once Dhawan and Padikkal fell, the middle order couldn’t quite get to grips with the spin.
Sri Lanka vs India Match Prediction
After seeing Indias squad succumb to Covid, it was probably not surprising that Sri Lanka went onto win the second T20i. Nevertheless Indias second string could count themselves somewhat unlucky and again highlights just how strong they are throughout.
With a decider to play with think that India will prove why they are one of the worlds very best sides. Were predicting a win for India.

Sri Lanka really upped their bowling performance against India in the second T20I. They turned to their spin bowlers who really got into the India batting lineup. Leg breaker specialist Akila Dananjaya picked up a couple of wickets, most notably of Shikhar Dhawan and Sanju Samson. Maybe Sri Lanka will stick with what has worked and attack India with more spin.
