India will take on Sri Lanka in the 2nd T20I of the series on Saturday. In a one-sided affair, Men in Blue wrapped up a comprehensive victory over Sri Lanka in the 1st T20I by a massive 62 runs to claim 10th straight victory in the T20Is. Ishan Kishan played the best innings of his career to put India in the driver’s seat and later the bowlers did the rest. They are always hard to beat at home and considering their current form they are the likely favorites to win this match.

Pitch Report:

The pitch here usually offers a lot of runs. Since the ground is located at a high altitude, the ball travels faster as well. In addition, the dew becomes a major factor in the evening if you’re playing during the September-March period. That’s the reason why teams prefer to chase at this venue.

Weather Report

The temperature is expected to hover around 9-12°C on the matchday with 87 % humidity and 10 km/hr wind speed. There are 60% chances of precipitation during the game.
