IND Vs SL 2nd T20I: Rain May Play Spoilsport In Dharamsala T20 | Match Preview & Predicted XI
India vs Sri Lanka 2nd T20I: It would require a monumental shift for India to lose this match as they simply look too good for this Sri Lankan team.
IND Vs SL 2nd T20I Preview: Rohit Sharma, the Indian captain has a phenomenal record as captain of the Indian team in T20Is. So far, he has won 22 out of 24 matches that he has captained in. When India takes to the field on Saturday, they will have a chance of winning their 11th match in a row.
Rain Could Play Spoilsport
The excitement surrounding the second T20I of the series could go for a toss as the weather forecast in Dharamsala - the venue for the 2nd T20 - shows likely rainfall. The cloud cover is only predicted to move away from Dharamsala by Sunday when the 3rd T20I would be played.
The players, traveling from Lucknow to Dharamsala would witness a significant drop in temperature as would move in the state of Himachal Pradesh.

Match Preview
Sri Lanka has never managed to win a T20 series in India before. They played their first series in India in 2009 when they drew the series at 1-1. Since then, the Sri Lankan team has undergone a major change.
Sri Lanka would be itching to bounce back after the dismal show in the first match with the bat. Other than Asalanka, no one showed any major promise with the bat. Even in the bowling department, SL looked weak. It would require a monumental shift for India to lose this match as they simply look too good for this SL team.
Teams have won two out of four matches chasing at Dharamsala. It is by no means, a prediction on what a captain might choose after winning the toss.
Team India would not look at making any major changes from the first T20I.
India's Probable XI: Rohit Sharma (c), Ishan Kishan (wk), Shreyas Iyer, Deepak Hooda, Sanju Samson, Ravindra Jadeja, Venkatesh Iyer, Harshal Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah, Yuzvendra Chahal.
Sri Lanka's Probable XI: Dinesh Chandimal (wk), Pathum Nissanka, Charith Asalanka, Janith Liyanage, Dhananjaya de Silva, Dasun Shanaka (c), Chamika Karunaratne, Dushmantha Chameera, Jeffrey Vandersay, Praveen Jayawickrama, Lahiru Kumara.
