Pitch & dew
- India vs Sri Lanka, 2nd T20I (19:00 IST start, sunset ≈ 17:12 IST): the whole match is under lights. Strong dew signal (87% of sample evenings). We would lean towards the chasing side's batters and the seamers who bowl first while the ball is dry, and be careful with finger spinners in the second innings. Expect captains to prefer bowling first.
