India came quite strong in reply to their collapse in the first T20, batsmen chipped in with good shots this time around,Although the pitch was not that difficult to bat on. Once again spin will be in play as both sides move to Visakhapatnam for the decider of the series.
Pandhya's experiment proved to be quite sucesssful for captain cool, but Yuvraj who hasn't tested enough with the bat will be in focus where he bats in the order on Sunday. Ashwin along with other bowlers maintained pressure on the Lankans, by picking up wickets at regular intervals.
Absence of an quality spinner in the squad on the dry Ranchi pitch hasn't helped the Srilankan's, it will be the same going in to the decider, if young Lankan batsmen doesn't step up. India will be confident enough to clinch on the series with their boosted performance at Ranchi, both with the bat and ball.
It will be interesting to see whether Negi gets a game ahead of big tournaments, Shami is yet to make his fitness test which will be crucial for the third seaming option. Chandimal and his men hope to give a fight against the hosts in building to Asia cup and World T20.
