SL vs IND Live streaming details, where & how to watch 2nd Test of India tour of Sri Lanka 2026
The SL vs IND 2nd Test kick-started in Colombo from August 23, 2026.
As expected, Team India recorded an easy win in the first Test against Sri Lanka in Galle. A win by 165 runs helped the visitors to take a 1-0 lead and also add important points on the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2025-27 table.
Now, the series win is on the line, and India will be ready to replicate the success from the first game into the Colombo Test. The second Test will kick off on August 23 (Sunday) at Sinhalese Sports Club at 10 AM IST.
This win is important for India’s chances for the WTC final. On the other hand, Sri Lanka need this win to level the series. After Kusal Mendis and Pathum Nissanka, wicket-keeper batter Dinesh Chandimal also sustained an injury. He will not be part of the second Test.
That will put Sri Lanka under immense pressure, as they are already struggling with the bat. Sri Lanka need to focus on their batting plans, which looked horrible in Galle. They would be keen to produce something special and surprise the visitors.
