AI overview

India get the nod at 82% in this 2nd ODI, with Sri Lanka at 18%. It is a strong lean, not a lock.

Lean: IndiaSurface: Flat / battingToss: bowl firstHome side: India

The Sri Lanka tour of India, 2026 reaches match 2 of 6 when India face Sri Lanka in a ODI at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. It is listed for Wednesday 16 December 2026, with the start at 19:30 IST. India have home conditions on their side, which our model counts as a small edge.

India's edge is their batting depth, while Sri Lanka's is their spin attack. The side whose strength suits M. Chinnaswamy Stadium gets the first say. M. Chinnaswamy Stadium is a small ground with a true surface where scores of 200 are routine, so we expect a flat / batting surface with a first-innings score around 361–420 for India and 299–347 for Sri Lanka.

Dry weather and a hard surface, with dew likely to help the side chasing under lights. The toss lean is to bowl first. Dew under lights makes the ball harder to grip, so chasing tends to be the easier task.
