India vs Sri Lanka 2nd Test 2009: Who Will Win?

India is going to play the second test against Sri Lanka in the three-test match series and second test is going to start from 24 November 2009 (Tuesday). In the first test, Sri Lanka played much better and they were unlucky because it was a flat wicket and the bowlers did not get any support. Despite leading by 334 runs in the first innings, they could not win the match. So in the second match, the Sri Lankan players are hopping that they can do better and win in it. It should be mentioned here that Sri Lanka has never won a test in Indian soil and this time, they are very much optimistic.

Sri Lankan players are hopping now that in the second test, it will be some easier for their bowlers to get wicket and the pitch will be more bowling friendly than the first test. As for India, they are depending on their batsmen more because they have no quality bowlers as we could see in the first test.

If you ask me who will win the second test then I would like to say that the second test should be more competitive and I hope that Sri Lanka will win it. However, if they want to win then they have to do better and they must try to focus on their spin bowling. Sri Lanka has some quality spinners like Muttiah Muralitharan and Ajantha Mendis and both of them can destroy any opposition team single handedly if the pitch helps. Sri Lankan batsmen are in great form. They need to continue this form.

By the way, Pakistan and New Zealand 1^st Test 2009 will start on the same day. So, the cricket fans of these two countries will have something to enjoy at the same day.
