Sri Lanka vs India Preview


India are not at full strength for this series but still have plenty of quality. The value for me is with Shubman Gill in the run scoring markets.

  • India have won 13 of their last 14 completed T20I matches.
  • India have won 3 of their last 5 T20I matches against Sri Lanka.
  • India’s Shubman Gill has scored 66 & 58* runs in 2 of his last 3 T20I matches.
  • Sri Lanka have lost 4 of their last 6 T20I matches.
  • Sri Lanka’s Kusal Mendis top scored in his last T20I match.

Head to Head


India have been victorious in three of their last five T20I against the Sri Lankans.

Sri Lanka Form


This is the first time Sri Lanka return to the cricket field after their exit from the 2024 T20 Cricket World Cup.

While that campaign didn’t go according to plan, Sri Lanka did end on a high with a 83-run win over the Netherlands. In that match, Kusal Mendis and Charith Asalanka both scored 46 runs in a 201-run total.

Overall, Sri Lanka have lost four of their last six T20I matches.

Sri Lanka Injuries & Team News


Charith Asalanka captains the side with plenty of experience in the squad. There are also a few younger players that they may have a look at.

India Form


India are in a great place in the T20 format and their form is incredible. They won the 2024 T20 Cricket World Cup, beating South Africa in the final by seven runs.

That was followed by a five-match series against Zimbabwe, a series India won 4-1 after losing the opening match of the series. India also sent a completely second-string side to Zimbabwe for that series.

India Injuries & Team News


India are nowhere near full strength for this series but still have many top players in the squad. Suryakumar Yadav will captain the side.

Verdict

I am backing Shubman Gill to top score in an Indian win. Kusal Mendis is tipped in the same market for the hosts.
