India vs Sri Lanka Cricket World Cup: Prediction, Tips and Line Ups

High flying India take on Sri Lanka at the Wankhede Stadium in this seventh round match in the World Cup. The hosts remain the only unbeaten team in the tournament with six consecutive wins. They are top of the log with 12 points while Sri Lanka are in sixth spot with four points. The visitors will be disappointed with their loss to Afghanistan in the last match, which almost certainly ended their semi-final hopes. Sri Lanka will need to win their remaining three matches and hope other results go their way.

India vs Sri Lanka Match Prediction: who will win?

A win for India will go a long way to securing first place for them in the league part of the tournament. They owe much of their success to their top order batters Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli who have been in sensational form. Sri Lankan batsmen have been in fairly decent form but it is their bowling attack that has been found wanting. They are not disciplined enough as the opposition have racked up massive totals against them. It is for this reason we tip India for the win. 

India vs Sri Lanka Toss Prediction

The pitch at the Wankhede Stadium is usually a batsmen paradise as there are regularly high scores posted. The ground has small boundaries which assists in the high scores. It is very difficult to defend a total at this ground therefore the team winning the toss will look to bowl first.  

India vs Sri Lanka Betting Preview

It is very difficult to find any flaws in this Indian team, even the injury to key all rounder Hardik Pandya has hardly affected the team. His replacement Mohammed Shami has been on fire, taking 9 wickets in his two outings. Sri Lanka have brought in veteran Angelo Matthews for the last match with his experience showing from the onset. They will need him to be at his all round best if they are to be competitive in this match. The better balance of the Indian bowling attack will trouble the Lankan batsmen who will need to deal with the pace threat of Bumrah and Shami, before spin twins Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav strangle the middle order. India will hardly raise a sweat as we tip them for an easy win.
