New Delhi | Jagran Sports Desk: The second T20I between India and Sri Lanka is scheduled to be held at Holkar Stadium , Indore on Tuesday. This will first time that the two teams will take on each other in 2020 after the first T20I was abandoned with a ball being bowled. Owing to short dimensions of the ground, we are expecting a run fest for both the teams. Bowlers will find a tough time in the contest and we may easily witness a score around 200 or more.
Team News:
For the Men in Blue, it will be all about winning the contestant as they have the chance to register three serie wins on a trott. India will also focus to win the first match of the year and the start teh year on a positive note. Shikhar Dhawan and Jasprit Bumrah will make their comeback for team India while Shardul Tahkur, Navdeep Saini and Washigton Sundar will need to prove themselves if they are to be part team India in the longer run.
For Sri Lanka, Angelo Mathews will make his comeback after 1.4 years. Pace spearhead Lasith Malinga, who has come out of retirement will look forward to help Sri Lanka register a win as the Lanka lions were whitewashed by Australia 3-0 in their last T20I contest. If they manage to win the opening match, they can avaoid a series loss as the first T20I is already whitewashed.
