For this game, all eyes will be on the surface, which has over the period of time, supported the spin bowlers. However, the Indians would make a mistake to prepare a track which overtly assists the slower bowlers given the quality of spinners in the opposition side. On the other hand, there had been murmurs of Kanpur losing out its test hosting status after a track prepared for the last game played here against South Africa had been a dreadful wicket and caused the batsmen to capitulate and the game to end within three days. 
With the entire media focussing on the track, there had been an injury worry or two for both the sides. Despite MS Dhoni been declared fit from his finger injury, it has been seen in the past how such injuries have affected the batting, in the past. Similarly, Tillakaratne Dilshan had a fractured nose, and despite attending the net session, it remains to be seen whether he plays in the game and is fit enough to bat in the manner he has so far. Thilan Thushara has already flown back to Sri Lanka, whereas Dammika Prasad has been declared unfit for this game, meaning that the bowling will be in the hands of Chanaka Welegedara and Dilhara Fernando – who has just flown into India.

For India, there is an outside chance that S.Sreesanth finally makes it back to the side. He has been relatively controversy-free and with Ishant Sharma having struggled in the previous game, the chances of him making it to the team looks bright.
Another draw in the game – and Sky Bet offers 2.25 for it – will almost add to the pressure on this format of the game. But the chances of a result in one or the other other’s favour look really bright given that the pitch should be more conducive for the bowlers. Boylesports offers 2.63 for an Indian win, whereas Sri Lanka is a distant second at 4.5 (Bet365)
