SL vs IND Dream11 Prediction, Dream11 Playing XI, Today Match 2nd, Sri Lanka vs India Test series 2026

Dream11 fantasy XI tips and guide for the 2nd Test of the Sri Lanka vs India Test series 2026 between SL vs IND to be played in Colombo.

Team India recorded a comprehensive win in the first Test against Sri Lanka in Galle by 165 runs. It helped Shubman Gill and co. to earn a 1-0 unassailable lead in the series. They will aim to end this tour with a 2-0 series whitewash.

The second Test is scheduled to start on Sunday (August 23) at 10 AM IST at Sinhalese Sports Club in Colombo. After Kusal Mendis and Pathum Nissanka, Sri Lanka suffered another injury blow when Dinesh Chandimal couldn’t bat in the second innings.

He will miss the second test, which will handicap the Sri Lankan batting unit totally. That gives a great chance to the visitors to put their foot on the pedal and record a series win.
