Chance of Winning
20%India is all geared up to take down Sri Lanka for the second T20I match on 5th January 2023 at Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune. Sri Lanka is currently in the 8th spot in the ICC rankings of the T20 format after ending the previous T20I match on a losing side against India, while India still ranks 1st in the ICC rankings of the T20 format. They will be hoping to secure the series by defeating the visitors in the second game. Winning the second T20I match would level up the series for Sri Lanka and would be a series win for India at their home ground.
Facts
Ishan Kishan played amazingly well in the first T20I match. He is the second-highest run scorer for India in this T20I series with 37 runs in just 1 inning. He is our pick for the Highest run scorer for India in the upcoming game. Pacer, Umran Malik picked 2 T20I wickets for Team India in the previous T20I match and is our pick for the Highest wicket-taker for Team India.
Captain Dasun Shanaka played the captain’s innings in the last match when his team needed him the most. He is the Highest run scorer for Sri Lanka in the T20I series with 45 runs in 27 balls. Dasun Shanaka was also the third-highest run-scorer in the T20 format last year with 497 runs. He is our pick for the Highest run scorer for India in the upcoming match. Wanindu Hasaranga was the most economical bowler for Sri Lanka in the last match with 1 wicket to his name and we are backing him as the Highest wicket-taker for Sri Lanka.
We pick Ishan Kishan for the Players of the Match award as he averages 53 in the T20I format.
Sri Lanka vs India Chance of Winning
Sri Lanka’s performance in the T20 format degraded after they won the Asia Cup by defeating Pakistan in the finals. They are not looking good as a unit and are facing defeat regularly now. Sri Lanka also lost the first match of this series by just 2 runs. Dasun Shanaka will once again lead Sri Lanka in the next game as well. It would be a tough job at the office for Sri Lanka to crush the hosts in the 2nd T20I.
India on the other hand is doing everything right in the T20 format as they are the No.1 team in the World and also started the year by defeating Sri Lanka in a cliff-hanging match. Considering the performance of the previous game we predict India has a higher chance of winning the forthcoming match.
Our Prediction
The hosts of the series looks too dominant than Sri Lanka. With the likes of Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav, we might see some big scores in the 2nd T20i match of the series in MCA Stadium, Pune. While Sri Lanka is expected to be resilient to the hosts taking home advantage but it won’t be enough for them to win the game.

Sri Lanka vs India Betting Odds
Both the teams are expected to come roaring in this match in their hunger for a win in the second match. It’s worth a wait to see who comes out as a winner. After assessing the team’s form and possible scenarios, the betting odds favour India. The odds that Sri Lanka will win are 3.35 while the odds in favour of India are 1.31. These betting odds have been calculated based on the team’s performance in the previous matches, players’ records, pitch and other factors.
Sri Lanka vs India Top Team Batsmen
Deepak Hooda has performed extremely well for the Indian team in the first match of the series. He was seen in terrific form in the previous T20I match. He accumulated 41 runs in 23 balls under pressure in the last T20I match with a strike rate of 178.26. Deepak Hooda is a safe bet from India’s squad.
The previous T20I match wasn’t a great match for Sri Lanka as they lost the match by just 2 runs. Dasun Shanaka was the highest run-scorer with 45 runs for Sri Lanka in that match. We expect him to score some runs in this match and see some fine shots.
The opener, Ishan Kishan can be seen scoring runs in the forthcoming match against Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka vs India Top Team Bowlers
Shivam Mavi picked 4 important wickets in the previous T20I match. He might take 2 or more wickets for Team India in the 2nd T20I.
Umran Malik, again from the Indian camp can be seen using his skills and turning the game towards his side. He can be seen picking some crucial wickets for India.
We just cannot ignore Wanindu Hasaranga who has been leading the bowling attack of Sri Lanka in the T20Is. He might once again prove why he is the highest wicket-taker for Sri Lanka.
Prediction Author
This will be the first T20i series of the year and the teams would be excited about the future matches and register their first series win of 2023. However, considering the odds and other factors, we are predicting that India will beat Sri Lanka.
