India and Sri Lanka are all set to face off each other in the 2nd match of the three-match T20I series. Hardik's men just about managed to eke out a win by 2 runs. Taking into account how close the match went, Sri Lanka would be confident of making a comeback.
Before the match begins, here is everything you need to know about the venue.Pitch Report
The average 1st innings score at MCA is 153, and it drops down to 128 in the 2nd. The pitch is generally great for batting, with some help for spinners. Expect a similar deck as the 1st match at Wankhede.
Will Toss Matter?
Only 3 international matches have been played at this venue and the team chasing has won two out of them. It doesn't say a lot but goes by the general belief that anything can be chased down in T20Is these days.
Although Hardik wanted to put the team in difficult situations going forward, he might again want to bat first.
