India vs Sri Lanka | 2nd ODI | 30th Jan | Watch the cricket live on Neo Cricket from 2:30 pm India time
In their just concluded tour to Pakistan, Sri Lanka had lost the first ODI and question marks were immediately raised over their batting. Critics were soon silenced as Lanka came back strongly to clinch the series with wins in the next two games. This was under a month back and Sri Lanka are in a similar position again having lost the first one dayer against India. Will they bounce back again?
Virender Sehwag will return to the India side having recuperated from his injury. Rohit Sharma will be the likely fall guy.
In the last match, I think Sangakkara’s innings was what put Sri Lanka on the back foot. Though he gave good support to Jayasurya but the wicket-keeper batsman was a tad too slow at a strike rate of about 50. When Sri Lanka tried to raise the average, wickets began to fell and they couldn’t muster up a good enough total that would have challenged the strong Indian batting line-up. They will need to rethink their strategy tomorrow.
My prediction is it will be a great game of cricket, and Sri Lanka will come out on top in a nail-biter! So don’t miss the live action on tv or the internet.
