IND vs SL Match Details

Match: India vs Sri Lanka, 1st T20I | Sri Lanka tour of India

Date: Tuesday, 3 Jan 2023

Time: 18:30 (GMT+5) / 19:00 (GMT+5.5) / 19:30 (GMT+6)

Format: T20I

Venue: Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai

IND vs SL Preview

In the last fifteen T20 games they have played against Sri Lanka, the Indian squad has won eleven of them.
The last 10 games Sri Lanka has played in India have been losses, and they have a dismal record there.
Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, and Sanju Sampson are some of India’s top stroke makers.

In the first of three IT20 matches, India and Sri Lanka square off on Tuesday night at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium. Since defeating New Zealand 1-0 in a three-match series in November, India has not played in an IT20 match. At the T20 World Cup in 2022, Sri Lanka last participated in this format. It starts at 19:00 local time for this IT20.

India’s performance in the last two T20 World Cup competitions has been dismal, although they have a strong roster of players. If they did not start the series off on the right foot in this game, it would be a huge shock.

Sri Lanka won the 2022 Asia Cup, although they continue to be a very unpredictable squad in all competitions. We still anticipate them to be competitive in this IT20, though.

IND vs SL Weather Report

On January 3, the skies over Mumbai will be clear, and we anticipate a high-scoring contest.

IND vs SL Match Toss Prediction

We have witnessed high-scoring games at this location, making it difficult to set a victory total because the pitch remains good into the second inning. At the toss, both captains would be considering this. In this game, the toss-winning team will probably choose to bowl first.

IND vs SL Pitch Report

Because of how readily batters may knock past the line on a flat wicket, bowlers don’t have much room to manoeuvre. A target of roughly 180 runs would be set for the team that bats first.

India Team News & Probable Playing XIs

Although he has not been named as the long-term skipper in this format, all-rounder Hardik Pandya, who led the team in New Zealand in November, will captain the side throughout this series. Both KL Rahul and Virat Kohli are absent from the lineup for this game in this series.

Sri Lanka News & Probable Playing XIs

Despite having many injuries during the 2022 T20 World Cup, Sri Lanka does not have any fresh injuries or players that are sidelined for this series. The Sri Lankan lineup should resemble that from their previous match in this format during the T20 World Cup.
