IND vs SL Dream11 Prediction : The first T20I at the Wankhede Stadium was a nail biter. India defeated the Lankan lions by the barest of margins. Having won the toss, Hardik Pandya chose to bat first. India set a target of 163 runs for Sri Lanka courtesy of a crucial 68 run stand between Axar Patel and Deepak Hooda. In reply, Sri Lankan skipper, Dasun Shanaka tried his best to take his team over the line but eventually they lost by 2 runs. Debutant Shivam Mavi was the pick of the bowlers as he picked four important wickets. The action now shifts to Pune and it will be interesting to see how teams approach the second T20I.

The MCA Stadium in Pune is known to assist some quality spin bowling due to the black soil texture of the pitch. The batters will get value for their shots but as the game progresses the spinners might have a bigger role to play in the game. There is no chance of rain and we will thus we are expected to have a full game on the cards.

The Indian vice captain did not have the best of starts to 2023 as he was dismissed for 7 runs. However, it won’t take much time for him to change gears and unleash the beast mode.
The hard hitting all rounder can give the opponents a run for their money. His clean hitting is something which is ideal for the T20I mode. He can chip in too with some off spin.

The Sri Lankan skipper has always played the role of a finisher for his team and has done tremendously well in that role. He almost got his team over the line with his knock of 45(27) in the first T20I.
The No 1 T20I bowler picked up a wicket and scored valuable 21(10) in the first T20I. Needless to say, he has to be one of the most picked players in the second T20I as well.
According to the India vs Sri Lanka today match prediction, India are the favourites to win this match.
