Sri Lanka Masters and India Masters contested in the inaugural game of the competition. Upon winning the toss, Sri Lanka Masters opted to bowl first. They conceded 222/4 in 20 overs with not much success with their bowling attack. Suranga Lakmal was the best bowler with 2 wickets in the game. The chase was an uphill task. Sangakkara smashed 51 runs while Jeevan Mendis scored 42 runs in the game. Despite a few impressive performances, the rest of the team bundled out pretty early in the game.

South Africa Masters vs Sri Lanka Masters Betting Odds

Sri Lanka Masters to score low for their opening partnership

Sri Lanka Masters batted fairly well in the last game with impressive performances from a few batters. However, the opening line-up still looks shaky with the likes of Upul Tharanga and Kumar Sangakkara. Tharanga scored 10 runs before losing his wicket while the team scored 11 runs before their first dismissal. Sangakkara batted well in the last game and even scored a half-century. However, it will be much more difficult against South African bowlers. That said, Sri Lanka Masters are expected to lose an early wicket in the next game.
