It's drizzling in Dambulla and the pitch is presently covered. Let's hope it's just a passing shower and there's no delay in the toss and the start of the game...

Pitch Report:
We have had intermittent showers and gloomy days but it has cleared up. It's the same pitch that was used in the first T20I. It looks on the drier side. I think spin is the way to win on the surface. You need to hit the back of a length area on this surface. Win the toss and bat first, 175 is a par score, reckons Russel Arnold

Rovman Powell:
It looks like a completely different surface from the other day and we have to play well. We did well with both bat and ball in the last game and it provides us another opportunity to do well. Once we keep pushing the Sri Lankans, hopefully they will crumble. Unfortunately, Shai Hope misses out and Andre Fletcher comes in

Charith Asalanka:
We are going to bat first. We got to do the same thing as batsmen. It looks drier than last day and there will be little more spin than last match. 160-170 looks like a par score on this pitch. Two changes for us - Thushara and Wellalage come into the side
