SRI (Sri Lanka) vs IND (India) Match Prediction
Odi
R. Premadasa Stadium
Facts
- India leads the tally by 4-1 in the last five fixtures against Sri Lanka.
- The sides met in a three match ODI series in January where IND won the series by 3-0.
Sri Lanka vs India Chance of Winning
The former champions, Sri Lanka, finished at the top of their group table with two wins to qualify for the Super Four. They met Bangladesh in their previous fixture again and claimed a victory in the game by 21 runs. Their batters and bowlers look in their top form and will be looking to boost their chance of finishing in the top two.
India only played a single complete game in the competition. A win in that game was enough to enter the Super Four for them. After things were left unfinished in their previous encounter with Pakistan, India met with them again and established a pure dominance in the game and eventually registered a win. Indian batters look ecstatic, especially the top order with ample support from the bowling order.
India has always dominated Sri Lanka in the 50 over format. Sri Lanka look in good form but they lack Indian class in the cricket world. India are coming into this future high on confidence after humiliating Pakistan in the competition.
- India's chance of winning: 82%
- Sri Lanka’s chance of winning: 18%
Sri Lanka vs India Betting Tips
Sri Lanka's main strength lies with their bowling attack. Maheesh Theekshana and Matheesha Pathirana lead the pace attack whereas Dasun Shanaka will contribute in both the departments. The batting order also looks balanced with the likes of Samarawickrama, Kusal Mendis and Pathum Nissanka.
India’s top batting order looked very special and witnessed immaculate scores from the top order. Their bowlers have been pretty economical with a special performance from Kuldeep Yadav in his last outing.
Sri Lanka vs India Toss Prediction
We have seen big scores in the tournament, and the side batting first has enjoyed the best batting conditions. The wicket slows down in the middle overs, making run chases a bit difficult. The skipper winning the toss should opt to bat first.
Weather Report
The venue is expected to experience overcast weather on September 12. The temperature is expected to be around 28 degree Celsius with a high possibility of precipitation.

Sri Lanka vs India Betting Odds
India to score high before 1st dismissal
India has a stellar batting unit right from their opening pair, Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill. The pair scored 15 runs in the first game but made an incredible comeback with their batting order as the openers posted 147 runs without losing any wicket in the 2nd game. They went against Pakistan in the previous game and secured 121 runs before Rohit Sharma lost his wicket. Sharma and Gill average at 70.50 & 67.50 respectively in the competition.
Sri Lanka vs India Top Batters
Virat Kohli to be the top batter for India
Virat Kohli averages 64.17 against Sri Lanka in the format. He scored 113, 4 & 166* runs vs SL in their ODI series back in January. He has a terrific track record at Colombo and smashed four consecutive centuries at the venue. He is coming from an unbeaten innings of 122 runs in his last outing against Pakistan and will be confident coming into this game.
Kusal Mendis to be the top batter for Sri Lanka
Kusal Mendis is in terrific form and posted scores of 5, 92 & 50 runs in the three games of the Asia Cup. The batters accumulated 147 runs in 3 games at an average of 49.00. He averages 31.87 in his ODI career and should display his batting prowess in the upcoming fixture.
Sri Lanka vs India Top Bowlers
Kuldeep Yadav to be the top bowler for India
Kuldeep Yadav will be India’s top pick in the bowling order. He has proven himself time and again in international cricket. He picked 7 wickets in 3 ODIs against West Indies before coming into this tournament. He picked 5 wickets in his last game against Pakistan and will be a huge bowling figure in the team.
Matheesha Pathirana to be the top bowler for Sri Lanka
The young pacer from Sri Lanka has undergone a lot of training to evolve into a fearful bowler across the globe. In the first game of the Asia Cup, Pathirana picked 8 wickets in three games at an economy rate of 5.70. He was very efficient in picking 3 wickets in the last game against Bangladesh.
Our Prediction
Favorites to win: India
Sri Lanka started off with the Super Four on a positive note. They met Bangladesh in their previous game and won the game by 21 runs. SL went in to bat first and secured 257 runs. Sadeera Samarawickrama scored an incredible 93 off 72 balls in the game to provide the team the necessary support in their batting. Defending the target, Bangladesh could only post 236 runs, with the help of only Towhid Hridoy’s innings of 82 runs. Theekshana, Pathirana and Shanaka picked 3 wickets each to claim the victory.
India were looking to gain confidence prior to important cricketing events this year. The opportunity came in their previous fixture against Pakistan. India went in to bat first and the batters smashed the ball relentlessly until the game was interrupted by rain at 147/2 in 24.1 overs. The only game to have a reserve day in the competition turned out to be auspicious for India as they registered 356 runs with the loss of 2 wickets only. Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill got their half-centuries but it was Kohli (122*) & KL Rahul (111*) who prolong their innings. Defending the target, IND picked the PAK wickets one by one and ended their innings at 128, winning the game by 228 runs. It was a tight bowling spell from the bowlers but Kuldeep Yadav shined with 5 scalps in the game.
In head-to-head, India holds a significant advantage over Sri Lanka, having won 36 more games. In one-day internationals, India has faced Sri Lanka 162 times, winning 93 and losing 57. 11 games have ended with no results, while one game has ended in a tie. The sides collided in an ODI series in January 2023 where IND won dominantly by 3-0 in the series.
- India to win the match @1.22 (Parimatch)
- Sri Lanka to win the match @4.30 (Parimatch)
