SRI LANKA vs INDIA Match Prediction – Who will win today’s 1st ODI match between SL vs IND?
MATCH: SRI LANKA vs INDIA
DATE: August 2, Friday
TIME: 2:30 pm IST
VENUE: R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo
TOURNAMENT: 1st ODI 2024
Sri Lanka (SL) and India (IND) are all set to continue their white-ball series by taking on each other across three ODI matches. After their recent T20I series, in which India clean-swept Sri Lanka, both sides will now lock horns in the first ODI. The clash will be held at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Friday, August 2.
The Indian team could look quite different as compared to the T20I series. Rohit Sharma will be leading India in the ODI series, with the likes of Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer making their return to the squad once more. Furthermore, with a subpar showing in the T20I series, Sri Lanka will hope to improve with the first ODI around the corner.
SL vs IND Probable Playing 11:
Sri Lanka:
Charith Asalanka (C), Avishka Fernando, Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis (wk), Akila Dananjaya, Kamindu Mendis, Wanindu Hasaranga, Matheesha Pathirana, Maheesh Theekshana, Asitha Fernando, Dilshan Madushanka.
India:
Rohit Sharma (C), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (WK), Riyan Parag, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Siraj, Harshit Rana.
SL vs IND Probable Top Performers of the Match
Probable Best Batter: Virat Kohli
Star India batter Virat Kohli could be the best batter in the upcoming game against Sri Lanka. Kohli will be playing his first ODI for India after the ODI World Cup, and with 506 runs in his last seven games, a lot will be expected from Kohli in the first ODI.
Probable Best Bowler: Mohammed Siraj
Ace India pacer Mohammed Siraj could be the best bowler in the first ODI. Siraj has performed exceptionally well against Sri Lanka in the past, and his spell could be crucial for the Men in Blue in the first ODI.
