IND vs SL 2nd T20I Live: Hello and welcome to the live coverage of India vs Sri Lanka 2nd T20 International match, scheduled to take place at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Sri Lanka on Saturday (July 28). IND vs SL 2nd T20I will begin at 7 PM IST onwards.
The first T20I match of the three-match T20I series between India and Sri Lanka, also held in Pallekele, saw Suryakumar Yadav-led India winning by 43 runs, giving them a 1-0 lead in IND vs SL T20I series.
The pitch at Pallekele Stadium initially provides some assistance to pacers. However, as the game progresses, it tends to become more favorable for batters, making run-scoring easier in the second innings; something which we saw in yesterday's series opener. Captain who wins the toss might choose to bowl first to take advantage of the pitch conditions early on.
At Pallekele Stadium, 24 T20 International matches have been played to date. Teams batting first have won 13 of those matches, while the teams batting second have won 9 times. One match ended with no result.
In a bit of disappointing news for fans, the second T20I between India and Sri Lanka may face interruptions due to rain. There is an 86% chance of rain in Pallekele on July 28, with forecasts indicating cloudy conditions and possible thunderstorms in some areas.
India's tour to Sri Lanka, which runs from July 27th to August 7th, includes both T20 and ODI series, with each format consisting of three matches.
During their last tour of Sri Lanka in 2021, the Indian team played a series consisting of three ODIs and three T20s. India won the ODI series 2-1 but lost the T20 series 2-1.
