India and Sri Lanka Set for Decisive Second Test in Colombo Amid Weather Concerns
India and Sri Lanka prepare for the second and series-deciding Test at Colombo's Sinhalese Sports Club starting August 23. India leads 1-0 after a strong win in Galle and aims to secure their first overseas Test series victory in three years, which would improve their World Test Championship standings. The pitch is expected to favor pacers early and spinners later, while rain and thunderstorms may disrupt play. Sri Lanka has made team changes and will rely on improved batting and spin to challenge India.
