Strategies to counter a slow pitch and a variety of slow bowlers from Sri Lanka will be at the top of India's list of priorities for the second ODI, which is all set to take place on August 4 at R. Premadasa Cricket Stadium in Colombo.

Rohit Sharma and his men have lost the opening thriller after chasing a modest 231 and being well positioned at 130 for three. The hosts spinners had enough bravery to dismiss the visiting sides for 230 and force a tie.
