'18:25
'18:15
India scored their biggest win in terms of number of runs in Cuttack on Wednesday.
India won the the first T20I in Cuttack by 93 runs. The Indian wrist-spin duo of Yazuvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav left the Lankan middle order clueless in the opener. The two will thus look to replicate their Cuttack performance, where they shared six wickets between them in eight overs, to give India another series win.
Sri Lanka, on the other hand, will look to drag the series until Sunday for a decider in Mumbai.
The surface at the Holkar Stadium is usually a batsman's dream, but pitch curators have advised to bowl first to the team that wins the toss.
The probable squads:
India: Rohit Sharma (c), KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, Dinesh Karthik, Manish Pandey, MS Dhoni (wk), Hardik Pandya, Kuldeep Yadav, Basil Thampi, Jasprit Bumrah, Yuzvendra Chahal.
Sri Lanka: Niroshan Dickwella (wk), Upul Tharanga, Kusal Perera, Angelo Mathews, Sadeera Samarawickrama, Asela Gunaratne, Dasun Shanaka, Thisara Perera (c), Akila Dananjaya, Dushmantha Chameera, Nuwan Pradeep.
