India vs Sri Lanka 2nd ODI: Dream11 Team, Fantasy Tips, Possible Playing 11, Match Prediction

Kolkata, Jan 9: After registering an emphatic 67-run win in the first ODI, the Indian cricket team will face Sri Lanka in the second ODI at Eden Gardens, Kolkata on Thursday (January 12).

In the series opener in Guwahati, captain Rohit Sharma and young batter Shubman Gill shared a stand of 143 runs for the first wicket and laid the foundation for a big total for India. Rohit played a brilliant knock of 83 while Gill also slammed a sublime fifty.

While Rohit and Gill failed to convert their fifties into hundreds, former India captain and batting mainstay, Virat Kohli, made the most of the opportunity and slammed his ODI career's 45th century and helped his team post a mammoth 373 for seven.

In response, Sri Lanka could only muster 306 runs for the loss of eight wickets in the run chase and lost the game. However, their in-form captain Dasun Shanaka continued to impress with the bat as he slammed his second ODI ton. The right-handed batter (108* off 88 balls) and Pathum Nissanka (72) were the only positives with the bat for the visitors.

They will be aiming for a better effort in every department of the game to challenge a dominant Indian side.
