India - SL : Second ODI - 28 Oct 2005 - Pre-game thoughts

On to Mohali, for a day-night encounter. Reports state that the toss could be vital, as the dew factor can make life difficult for the spinners later in the game. Reports say that having two spinners wouldn't help for a side bowling second. Lankans have three or four spinner who come into action.

India side - would there be a change in the composition? Would Murali Karthik's performance bring him into the XI? Or will the winning combination be used again? Would there be an experimentation of using Sehwag lower down the order and giving either Dhoni or Gambhir the opening slot? Yuvraj coming in at No 4 when Pathan departed seemed to indicate that the think tank preferred a right/left combination at the wicket. Personally I wouldn't be surprised if there is going to be some change to the playing XI tomorrow.

And more interesting tomorrow would be the announcement from the selectors for the upcoming games.
