What a match the 1st ODI was ! 820+ runs scored in 100 overs. At the end a heart stopping 3 run win for India. Srilanka would have been easily 1-0 up in the series.
For this ODI Lanka will be without Muttiah Muralitharan and paceman Dilhara Fernando due to finger injuries and the duo has been also ruled out of the series.
The playing surface like the 1st odi is also expected to be batting friendly. The match was shifted here by the BCCI from Vishakapatnam due to security concerns. The match can become tricky because of the cold weather and the dew factor that would come into effect as it’s a day-night game.
