Sri Lanka and India are all set to continue their ongoing ODI series by facing off in the second ODI of the series at the R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo, on Sunday, August 4. The first ODI of the series resulted in a tie after the Indian team fumbled what looked like a sure-shot win at one stage.
Sri Lanka would be happy with the result; however, Team India will aim to improve and register their first win of the ODI series. The Men in Blue will be led by Rohit Sharma, and the visitors will hope to avoid blunders this time around.

Pitch Report
The surface at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo is one that is preferred by the batters. The dry pitch heavily favours the batters in the early stages of the game. However, it is known for slowing down as the game progresses, and opting to bowl first after winning the toss could be a wise decision.
