IND vs SL Preview

Sri Lanka are all set to defend their crown against the mighty Team India in the final of the Asia Cup. The Lankan Lions have played as the one and shown a lot of character so far. They troubled India during their earlier meeting in the Super Four despite a 41-run loss and will look to push themselves for the one last time to upset Men in Blue. Sri Lanka will be feeling very confident after their 2-wicket victory over Pakistan in the last game.

On the other hand, India have been in fine form in this competition. They lost their last game to Bangladesh by 6 runs but it was a dead rubber. Furthermore, they managed to give a much-needed rest to their frontline players. India failed to reach the final of the Asia Cup last time around and they will be eager to make it up this time by lifting the trophy.

The surface is on the slower side and the stroke-making is not easy here. The spinners will get turn and bounce, while the pacers might get some swing in the air with the new ball. The team winning the toss is likely to bat first as the pitch gets tougher as the game progresses.

Who will win today match between India and Sri Lanka?

Sri Lanka have played as a unit so far and have seen contribution from almost everyone. However, the absence of Maheesh Theekshana is a major blow to the islanders and it has left a gaping hole in their already depleted bowling department. On the other hand, India have ticked almost all boxes during the Asia Cup and they are now looking all set to lift the trophy. They are doing well in all departments of batting, bowling, and fielding. As per our prediction, India are likely to win this match.
