Match Preview
IND vs SL: With the game against Pakistan moving to reserve day, the Indian Cricket Team will have to step on the field on three consecutive days, which could be hectic for players and might risk in injuries. Therefore we might see India making some changes in the IND vs SL game.
The opening pair of Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill are likely to play against Sri Lanka. They have been in the red hot form and smashed two back-to-back century stands against Nepal and Pakistan. They would be crucial for the team in the upcoming IND vs SL game.
Virat Kohli is also likely to play the IND vs SL game as management would want their premier batters to get as much as game time they can get because of the World Cup. Shreyas Iyer had some back issues ahead of the game against Pakistan and didn’t play. Therefore it is likely that the team will persist with KL Rahul at No.4 and would allow Iyer to recover completely.
Ishan Kishan is expected to be the keeper in the team and is likely to play the finishers role with Hardik Pandya in IND vs SL game. We might see Ravindra Jadeja getting rested and Axar Patel getting an opportunity. Whereas Kuldeep Yadav being a wrist spinner is likely to retain his place.
Shardul Thakur might retain his place in the team for IND vs SL game whereas Mohammad Shami and Prasidh Krishan can get an opportunity to play in place of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj.
Rain has played the most in the Asia Cup so far with fans emotions, as India has played only one full game that too with interruption against Nepal.
Their first game against was called off due to rain, they, however, batted in that match. The Rohit Sharma-led side won their second game by 10 wickets against Nepal, while their biggest match of the Super four against witnessed showers and the play was postponed many a times.
Sri Lanka, who managed to play their super four game won that match and are riding high on confidence to give India a tough time, as the game is in Sri Lanka only.
