Cuttack, December 22: Sri Lanka have won the toss and have opted to bowl first. India will once again start favourites as they seek to clinch another series win against Sri Lanka in the second T20 at Indore’s Holkar stadium tonight. There seems no end to the visitors’ woes, who suffered a 93-run defeat in the series-opener in Cuttack on Wednesday. For the hosts, the youngsters have stepped up in the absence of senior pros — Virat Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan and Bhuvneshwar Kumar — and will look to guide India to yet another impressive series win. This is the first ever T20 international in Indore.
