The 2nd Twenty20 between India vs SriLanka will be played in Mohali on Saturday, Dec 12th, 2009. Start time 17-30 (12.00GMT). Watch Live Streaming and Live Scores.
It looks like India have lost track of the T20’s, they have lost 4 in a row.
The Indians put up a pathetic show to lose the first match by 29 runs in Nagpur and M S Dhoni and team have a tough task at hand to level the series 1-1.
The Indians fielding has been pathetic, they dropped four simple catches, missed out on a simple run-out chance and gave away easy runs in the field in the 1st T20.
The Srilankans will go into the match with a positive frame of mind after their convincing victory in Nagpur. They would look to win this one and win the series.

Quotes
“Hopefully before the next World Cup we would get it right. We will have the third edition of the IPL before that which I think will help. IPL will give us the right preparation.”
India’s inconsistency in Twenty20 is an area of concern for MS Dhoni.
“We always have to come up with new ways to improve. Momentum is good as it gives us the confidence, self belief. It gives us the belief that we can repeat all the good things.”
Kumar Sangakkara believes staying fresh in this format is crucial to success.
