India will go into the third game of the test match series against Sri Lanka with a 1-0 lead under their belt. And with the kind of performance that came out of their batting and bowling stable in the previous, it looks highly implausible that the Sri Lankans will be able to realise their long standing dream of not having won a single test match in India ever since they started playing cricket.

The tourists will obviously be buoyed by the news that Gautam Gambhir will not be a part of the game. This will mean that the Indians will go into the game with a new opener in Murali Vijay, who has played in one test match so far. This was against Australia last year when Gambhir had been ruled out of the Nagpur test match and had acquitted himself rather well even then.
Apart from that, the Indian side should go into the game fairly unchanged, given that S.Sreesanth was at his menacing best and the remaining bowlers supported him to the hilt. One gets the sense that Zaheer was getting to his best as well and could be a bowler to reckon with in the next game with his ability to reverse the ball.

For the Lankans, the spinners have not been able to deliver as they would have been expected to. Murali has scalped five wickets only so far at an average of 80 runs per wicket, while Ajantha Mendis was woeful in the second game he played. Only Ranagana Herath has been good with his bowling and that has left the captain with no option but to set defensive fields. There is a reasonable possibility that the Lankans may go back to getting in their second pace bowler in the side in place of one of the three spinners and expect T.Dilshan to bowl a little more.
The Indians will be hugely favourites to win the game, but rather surprisingly, the punters have put a drawn game as a higher possibility than that. Sporting Bet offers 2.5 for a draw as compared 2.625 for an Indian win. in the highly unlikely scenario that Sri Lanka bat first and pile on a big total and have an outside chance of winning the game, Paddy Power offers 5.
