Because of their incredible run of six wins in a row, India is the side to beat in the 2023 ICC ODI World Cup.
When the Men in Blue play Sri Lanka in their next game, they will be hoping to build on their impressive performance. On November 2, Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium will host the 50-over match.
Their ticket to the semi-finals will be guaranteed with a win against Sri Lanka.
The previous match pitted India versus England, and it ended up being a one-sided match. The hosts aimed for 230 runs when they batted first.
In response, England capitulated easily to the Indian pace attack, which was led by Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami, as the hosts won by 100 runs.
Only two wins have Sri Lanka secured in this World Cup so far. Following three defeats to begin the tournament, Sri Lanka recovered in the next games, winning consecutively against England and the Netherlands.
The Islanders were unable to maintain their momentum against Afghanistan, who was superior than them in every way and won by a comprehensive seven wickets.
Pitch Report for Wankhede Stadium
India vs Sri Lanka in the ODI World Cup is predicted to be a high-scoring match since Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium has a batting-friendly surface.
In the two matches that have already taken place at this tournament, South Africa has scored more over 350 runs. It is anticipated that the field will not change for the next games either.
The captain who wins the toss will usually choose to bat first and strive for a massive total because of the characteristics of the track. In order to silence hitters, bowlers will have to depend on variety.
