SL vs IND Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report &amp; Injury Updates For 2nd ODI

Preview

For the second ODI, which is scheduled to take place on August 4 at R. Premadasa Cricket Stadium in Colombo, SL vs IND primary priorities will be how to counter a slow pitch and a range of slow spinners from Sri Lanka. After chasing a modest 231 and being well-positioned at 130 for three, Rohit Sharma and his team lost the initial thriller. The home team’s spinners shown bravery as they dismissed the opposition for 230 and forced a draw.

After withstanding Rohit Sharma’s early barrage in the opening game, Sri Lanka executed their plan against the Indian hitters, who are not particularly crafty, though a few are. India’s captain, Rohit Sharma, wasn’t happy with how the match got out of control. The Men in Blue are clear favourites to win the game, but on Friday, they severely botch an easy pursuit.

In the second One-Day International of the three-match series, India and Sri Lanka will square off on Sunday in Colombo. Rohit Sharma will lead the Men in Blue, and it will be interesting to see how Gautam Gambhir, the new head coach, implements the new mindset in the format. All eyes will be on the exciting match that is about to take place on the cricket pitch as the squad prepares for the second ODI.

Here are the Dream11 predictions, fantasy advice, pitch report, top player selections, and best-predicted starting lineups for the match’s fantasy contests prior to kickoff.
