1. Team News - India
India made lightwork of Lanka in the first T20I. It was a complete team effort. The bowlers stuck to the plan and restricted Lanka to a sub-150 total on a pitch that stayed true throughout the match. The Pune pitch too is batsmen's ally and the boundaries are short too. In that context, India might not tinker with their line-up for the series-decider, meaning Ravindra Jadeja might have to sit out once again. The lone possibility of him making a comeback to the side is in the place of Washington Sundar but that looks distant at the moment. India would also like to see some more runs from Shikhar Dhawan, who made a comeback to the team after an injury break. He made 32 off 29 but was not in his usual fluent self.
2. Team News - Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka have some players who can help the team surge ahead. We have seen the promise Avishka Fernando holds even during the brief stay he had at Indore. And the Lankans have some good hitters in players like Danushka Gunathilaka, Kusal Perera and Dasun Shanaka and young leg-spinner Wanindu Hasaranga bowled a very good spell at Indore. Now, Lanka will hope that they can build on all those little positives and challenge India with more force at Pune. Pacer Isuru Udana might not play at Pune after suffering a hand injury.
