As Sri Lanka missed yet another chance to win from a dominating position, their winless streak continued. Nonetheless, escaping with a tie provided a much-needed boost as they prepare to face the same opponent at the same venue today. But will that result be enough to allow their in-form top-order batters to play with greater freedom?

While Dube's underutilized bowling skills were pressed into duty for more reasons than one in the first ODI, India even employed the services of Shubman Gill for an over, as their seventh bowling option, only a day after announcing that they wouldn't be using this ODI series as a practice ground.

Asalanka doesn't have a good record against Kuldeep. The latter dismissed him in the first ODI as well. Can he survive this phase?
