What a great start it was for the visiting team in the 2021 India tour of Sri Lanka. Team India showed that they weren’t just going to come here and win but make an impression. They won the 1st ODI with more than 10 overs to spare and made a big statement. They now have 4 wins in 7 games in the ICC ODI Super League and they will want to continue the momentum as they play the 2nd ODI at the same venue in Colombo.
The opponents Sri Lanka are down and out in international cricket and it’s been a while since they last beat India in this format. However, they should take heart from the fact that the Indians were all coming out and hitting the ball, not looking to build partnerships. A couple of early wickets could cause trouble for the visitors. Keep reading for our complete PlayerzPot (Code “READ1234“) fantasy preview of the SL vs IND 2nd ODI…

Sri Lanka
Over the last couple of years, Dushmantha Chameera has grown as a pacer and while he was wicketless in the last game, he made quite a few Indian batsmen uncomfortable and he’s one of my first picks in today’s SL vs IND 2nd ODI fantasy team. With him, there’s Dhananjaya de Silva who went at nearly 10 runs per over but he got 2 wickets and he bats up the order as well, so you can’t leave him out.
We’re not sure of why Isuru Udana was picked as frontline bowler and then given only 2 overs to bowl. His variations usually help him better in the T20 format and we think he could be dropped for either Lahiru Kumara or Kasun Rajitha. If you want an added batting option for your SL vs IND Dream11 team, there’s Wanindu Hasaranga who is known for his bowling but is likely to come out to bat earlier that you would expect.
India
For India, I’m a little disappointed Manish Pandey gave his wicket away after getting 26 but he’s easily one of the most talented batsmen in the squad and given the opportunity to bat at #4, we don’t want to see him mess it up. India is likely to play an unchanged squad and make changes once they win the series 2-0, so you can expect the Dhawan-Shaw opening partnership and we’ll pick Suryakumar Yadav as well today.

We saw Bhuvneshwar Kumar being very ineffective and that means most teams won’t be picking him but we’ll add him to our PlayerzPot (Code “READ1234“) SL vs IND 2nd ODI fantasy teams, as an x-factor player. Another bowler we want is spinner Kuldeep Yadav who got 2 wickets in the 1st ODI and we’ll pick him over Yuzi Chahal, the latter having not so many scalps in IPL 2021.
