Enormous picture Environmental conditions in north India have frequented Sri Lanka directly through their voyage through India. In the event that it was the brown haze in Delhi, it was rain in Dharamsala. On Monday, they burned through four hours at the airplane terminal with their sanctioned flight unfit to take off. They came back to their lodgings and just traveled to Mohali on Tuesday, the eve of the third ODI.
North India, be that as it may, has been thoughtful to Sri Lanka from a cricketing stance; they cleared out Delhi with a gladdening attract the third Test, and trounced India in the principal ODI in Dharamsala, finishing a 12-coordinate losing streak in the configuration.
India, therefore, is the group underweight in front of the second ODI. Inquiries float over their batting, specifically, as it will for any group that staggers to 29 for 7 without its best batsman. Shreyas Iyer, Dinesh Karthik, and Manish Pandey involved Nos. 3, 4 and 5 in Dharamsala, and between them scored 11 off 60 balls, none of them persuading with their methods against the moving ball. India won't have any desire to roll out discount improvements after one misfortune in surprising conditions, however, they won't have been excessively awed with what they saw of their upper center request.
For Sri Lanka, in the meantime, this is an opportunity to end a generally hopeless year in 50-overs cricket on a high. At different focuses amid this visit, they have demonstrated flashes of the group they could progress toward becoming if their ability is saddled right; a win in Mohali could quicken that procedure.

In the spotlight

Given more average conditions, they are among the best new-ball and late-overs combines in ODI cricket, and their challenge against Sri Lanka's best request could decide the course of the second ODI.
His medium-paced off-cutters weren't required in Dharamsala, and a little target implied his batting wasn't called for either, yet Sri Lanka would have been satisfied that Asela Gunaratne was back on the field following four-and-a-half months out harmed. Gunaratne has been one of their brightest entertainers in late seasons - as four trophies at SLC's current yearly honors would propose - and they will trust the long break hasn't done his musicality any damage.
