SL vs IND Dream11 Prediction: After a thrilling 43-run win in the first T20I match, India will look to keep the momentum going when they take on Sri Lanka in the 2nd T20I match at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium. The match is scheduled to start at 07:00 PM (IST) on Sunday, July 28, 2024.
The first T20I match panned out exactly as cricket fans might have envisioned, with hosts Sri Lanka, riding behind the staunch 35,000 supporters, giving Team India a tough fight. India posted a formidable 213/7 in 20 overs. At halftime, the visitors looked like heading towards a comfortable victory, but Pathum Nissanka (79 off 48) and Kusal Mendis (45 off 27) gave the Lanka Lions a terrific start, accumulating 84/1 in just 8.4 overs.
Nissanka also added 56 runs for the second wicket with Kusal Perera (20 off 14). The hosts were in the driver’s seat after reaching 140/1 in 14 overs, but then Axar Patel bowled the dangerous Nissanka out on the first ball of the 15th over and it was all downhill for the hosts after that.
