India vs Sri Lanka Match Prediction
India is going to start their new year with a crucial series against Sri Lanka at their home soil. Sri Lanka tour to India will kick off from 3rd Jan 2023 when the first T20 match will take place at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium. After that visitors will play two T20 matches at Pune and Rajkot respectively followed by a 3 match ODI series as well.
The last time India and Sri Lanka faced-off in a T20I series was in 2021-22 when Sri Lanka visited India and lost the 3-match series to the hosts by 3-0
The Indian team will be led by Star all rounder Hardik Pandya, whereas the Sri Lanka team is touring to India under the leadership of Danus Shanaka.
India vs Sri Lanka Chance of winning
Recently India won the T20 series against New Zealand. After that Men in blue lost the ODI series against Bangladesh 2-1 but they managed to sweep in the test series against Bangladesh. It's really tough to defeat India at their home ground. Star T20 players like Hardilk Pandya, 360 degree batsman Surya Kumar Yadav, Ruturaz Gayakwad, Shubhman Gill came back into the side and are in fantastic form. So India has more chances to win the encounter against visitors.
Our Prediction
Indian teams look strong and have a balanced squad, on the other hand Sri Lanka’s recent performance is not so outstanding. Facing the spin attack is also a problem for Sri Lanka. So keeping eyes on the records and the present scenario, the inexperienced Sri Lankan team looks underrated against Men in Blue.
- India to win @ 1.48
- Sri Lanka to win @ 2.65
India vs Sri Lanka Tournament Prediction & Betting Tips 2022
Sri Lankan team do not have good records on Indian pitches, on the other hand Indian team has some star T20 players, the team will take advantage of local conditions as well. So it will be really very tough for Sri Lanka to get a series victory but they can win a few matches in both the T20 and ODI series.
India vs Sri Lanka Match Toss Prediction
Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium has a batting friendly pitch. With its flat surface it will definitely help the batsmen to put some good total on the board. Pitch is not so helpful for the bowlers. Pitch has some extra bounce as well so the ball will come on the bat very right and in T20 which is mostly a batting dominating encounter, we will see some good batting performances.
Weather Report
On 3rd Jan 2023 it will have good conditions for a cricket match. Temperature is expected to be 29 degree celsius with 49% humidity. It will be a clear sky with no disturbance of rain. Wind may blow with the speed of 23 km/h.
India Player List
The Indian team is going to take on Sri Lanka under the leadership of all-rounder Hardik Pandya. We will see some new names like Mukesh Kumar, Shivam Mavi in this squad. Availability of Rohit Sharma is still doubtful. Virat Kohli and KL Rahul are on rest for the T20 series. Out of form player Rishabh Pant is kept out from both T20 and ODI series against Sri Lanka.
