After a huge debate on India sending a B team to Sri Lanka for 3 ODIs and 3T20Is bilateral series, the former Lankan Captain Arjun Ranatunga said that India sent its second-string team to humiliate Sri Lankan Cricket. But India winning the 3 match ODI series by 2-1, proved this statement wrong.
Now the focus shifting to T20Is, as we all know when we talk about T20 cricket, nothing is sure. Any good team can be also defeated by any average side. So, Shanaka and Co. may have a chance to defeat the young Indian side led by Shikhar Dhawan.
Though it will be difficult for the management to select an ideal 11, players like SKY, Yuzi Chahal, have already their places fixed in the 11.
Probable 11:
INDIA
- Shikhar Dhawan(C)
- Prithvi Shaw
- Sanju Samson/Ishan Kishan
- Suryakumar Yadav
- Nitish Rana
- Hardik Pandya
- Krunal Pandya
- Rahul Chahar
- Bhuvneshwar Kumar
- Deepak Chahar
- Yuzvendra Chahal
Sri Lanka
- Dasun Shanaka (C)
- Asalanka
- Avishka
- Minod Bhanuka
- Bhanuka Rajapaksa
- Dhananjaya de Silva
- Akila Dananjaya
- Isuru Udana
- Chamika Karunaratne
- Praveen Jayawickrama
- Dushmantha Chameera
