SriLanka vs India third ODI: India removes Mendis, Mathews in quick succession.

India will again be expected to be at its ruthless best when it takes on a Sri Lanka, which has hit the nadir in both form and confidence, in the second ODI here on Thursday.

After a lopsided Test series, the script did not change much in the first match, where India steamrollered the opposition by nine wickets.

It is tough to foresee any changes to the Indian playing XI. Virat Kohli will resist the urge to chop and change too much.
