SL vs IND, Fantasy Tips Sri Lanka vs India 2nd ODI: Captain, Vice-captain- Playing 11s For Today’s R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo 3 PM IST July 20 Tuesday:
Impressing on his captaincy debut – opener Shikhar Dhawan and birthday boy Ishan Kishan slammed brilliant half-centuries as India hammered Sri Lanka by seven wickets in the series opener at the R.Premadasa Stadium, Colombo on Sunday. In absence of more experience Sanju Samson, Kishan made the most of his opportunity and celebrated his 23rd birthday with a dazzling half-century on his Team India debut.
Meanwhile, Dhawan, in his first match as captain, anchored India to a walk-in-the-park seven-wicket victory. Young opener Prithvi Shaw also left an instant impression as he scored a quick-fire 43 off 23 balls that included nine boundaries. On a track that offered a slow turn, the inexperienced Sri Lankan batters splurged like millionaires, throwing away one wicket after another but still managed to get 262 for nine, which wasn’t going to be enough against India’s batting might.
In the second ODI, the hosts would like to bounce back and level the series, but that would be extremely difficult against a formidable Indian outfit.
