Sri Lanka's Probable XI For 2nd ODI vs India

In the opening, Sri Lanka are unlikely to go for any change and will continue with Pathum Nissanka, who is in top-form and scored a fifty in the first game. Meanwhile, Avishka Fernando will be his opening partner. 

Kusal Mendis and skipper Charith Asalanka will headline the middle-order, while Dunith Wellalage and ex-skipper Wanindu Hasaranga will take care of the lower-middle order.

It is likely that Sri Lanka make one change and bring in Maheesh Theekshana for Janith Liyange. 

In the bowling, Mohamed Shiraz, Asitha Fernando, and Akila Dananjaya will spearhead the bowling department. 

Sri Lanka's Probable XI: Pathum Nissanka, Avishka Fernando, Kusal Mendis,  Charith Asalanka, Sadeera Samarawickrama, Dunith Wellalage, Wanindu Hasaranga, Maheesh Theekshana, Mohamed Shiraz, Asitha Fernando, and Akila Dananjaya
