Sri Lanka is now in good form. They are continuously playing well in both home and abroad. That is why, India will face a tough challenge against touring side Sri Lanka. Indian bowlers should fear about Sri Lankan top order batsmen. Sri Lankan skipper Kumar Sangakkara played an important role in the first T20 match. His heroic 78 runs innings helped Sri Lanka team to make a big chasing score. Chamara Kapugedera played an aggressive innings in the middle order position. However, Sri Lanka could score 215 runs for 5 in their allotted over. After coming to chase this innings, India could compile 186 runs for the loss of nice wickets.

I hope that Indian selectors will bring some change in the bowling line up. Indian bowlers were useless. They could not make any pressure over the opponent team. Who will be the change in the main squad? I hope Zaheer Khan and Sreesanth will be selected for the 2nd T20 match.

Indian cricket team is now looking for a victory against Sri Lanka in the second T20 match which will take place at Chandigarh on 12th December 2009. India lost the first T20 match by 29 runs. However, Indian fans did not expect this performance from the highest ranked team in the ICC Test ranking. Now, home side should want to equal the series after winning the second T20 match. However, Sri Lanka should struggle hard to win the match so that they can finish the T20 series with 2-0.

What was the reason for India defeat and how they can overtake problem? If you watch the first T20 match between India and Sri Lanka then you may have seen that India was weak in ground fielding. They missed four easy catches that changed the match result. India could win the match if they did not lose the catches. So, we can easily say that Indian cricket team will have to improve their fielding line up to win the next twenty20 match. It is sure that their poor fielding disappointed the fans.

It is said that the main strength of India team is their strong batting line up. The important thing is that India has strong middle order line up. However, we saw the opposite thing in the first T20 match against Sri Lanka. Only Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir could make strong protest against Sri Lankan bowlers.

The second twenty20 international between India and Sri Lanka is going to be held at the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium, Mohali, Chandigarh on 12 December 2009. For team India, who have just moved to the no. 1 position in ICC test ranking, it is a very important game as they have already lost the first match of the series. That means India must win the second game in Mohali to save the T20 sereis. Sri Lanka may have lost the ODI series, but they made a strong come back in the first twenty20 international. So, they would also like to continue the momentum they got in the first game. So, we can expect a highly entertaining twenty20 affair on Sunday.

I know there are some unfortunate cricket fans who would not be able to stick to their television to watch the game. So, here I am giving some online live score websites from where you can get the live score and updates of the match:
