IND vs SL: Ground Pitch Report
The wicket in Nisshin was already very slow and sluggish, and the rain in the last few days must have made the wicket even slower. The outfield might also be on the slower side, and spinners will love this deck. We might see a low-scoring thriller here.
IND vs SL: Possible XIs
India: Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson (wk), Shreyas Iyer (c), Ishan Kishan, Tilak Varma, Shivam Dube, Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah
Sri Lanka: Niroshan Dickwella (wk), Nuwanidu Fernando, Sahan Arachchige (c), Lasith Croospulle, Ashen Bandara, Chamika Karunaratne, Dushan Hemantha, Tharindu Ratnayake, Binura Fernando, Vijaykanth Viyaskanth, Nuwan Thushara
IND vs SL: Player to Watch Out For
Probable Best Batter
Abhishek Sharma is currently scoring runs at a higher strike rate, and if he can play 20-22 balls, he will take India to a good position. For Sri Lanka, the role of Niroshan Dickwell will be important, who has good international experience.
Probable Best Bowler
Axar Patel and Vijaykanth Viyaskanth are two spinners who might get a good amount of purchase from this wicket. They will be the ones to watch out for.
Today Match Prediction: India have a full-strength side, and they will be the favorite to win this game on Thursday.
