The game is heading for a definite draw unless there is some miracle. Indians are few runs ahead but just one wicket in hand. It's hard to imagine that the game will head in to any competitive stage with the dead pitch. This is the second test match of the three match test series. The first game was won by Sri Lankan team with ten wickets, in a game where Sri Lanka team dominated. But the conditions on the second game are totally differ from the first one. Sri Lankans don't have two of their match winning players who played big role in the first test win. Muttiah Muralitharan, the highest test wicket taker in the world, the magicians behind most of Sri Lanka's test victories and the player who took eight wickets in the last game, is now retired. And Lasith Maling who took seven wickets in the match and a half century that earned him the man of the match, is also missing from the second game. Ajantha Mendia who took six Indian wickets in the practice game can be the player who make threat to Indians, but his reason form is not so convincing. India's worry is with the batsmen who failed in the first game. Though their batting line up is one of the best when we see the record, but they didn't deliver in the last game. So this is a good chance for them perform as they are facing less experienced Sri Lankan bowling attack. If Indians want to retain their number one test ranking they have to win at least one remaining game.
