India vs Sri Lanka Prediction: India has shown their strength in first super four game against Pakistan

India will be facing off against Sri Lanka in the 11th game of the Super Fours in the Asia Cup at R. Premadasa Stadium, Columbo. India has shown their strength in first super four game against Pakistan. Who will win this game?

India enters the upcoming World Cup brimming with confidence following their resounding victory over arch-rivals Pakistan in their latest match. The top-order batsmen, Shubhman Gill and Rohit Sharma, continued their excellent form, constructing a formidable partnership, just as they did against Nepal.

Virat Kohli has regained his peak form, exemplified by his 47th ODI century, while KL Rahul, making his ODI comeback after nearly six months, demonstrated his fitness and skill with an unbeaten century. On the bowling front, the dynamic duo of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj constitutes a formidable opening pair, poised to capitalize on the overcast conditions in Colombo.

Kuldeep Yadav's exceptional performance in the Pakistan match, where he secured a fifer, underscored his effectiveness, particularly in maintaining precise line and length across various conditions.

Sri Lanka is currently enjoying a remarkable run of form, having secured victory in their last 13 matches, marking one of the lengthiest winning streaks in ODI history. The team is determined to uphold this impressive record on their home turf.

While Pathum Nissanka and Dimuth Karunaratne have faced some struggles this season, their abundant talent suggests a potential turnaround is on the horizon. The team's middle-order batsmen have been instrumental in bolstering Sri Lanka's batting performance.

Sadeera Samarawickrama and Kusal Mendis have been consistently productive, each notching up two half-centuries. Charith Asalanka has displayed flashes of brilliance with the bat, but the team hopes he can play a substantial innings, especially against a formidable opponent like India. Dasun Shanaka's batting form has room for improvement. Kasun Rajitha and Matheesha Pathirana will take charge with the new ball.

Pathirana's IPL experience as a bowler may prove valuable, and the duo of Maheesh Theekshana and Dunith Wellalage has already claimed ten wickets collectively, making them potent forces on Colombo's pitch.

The Indians showcased their batting prowess in the previous match on this pitch, indicating it favors batsmen. Nevertheless, there is notable movement for fast bowlers, both through the air and off the pitch. Batsmen must navigate the early challenges posed by the new ball, given the moisture content in the surface, which could occasionally result in low bounce. Spinners are likely to become influential in the latter part of the game. Recent cloudy weather has brought frequent rain interruptions over the past few days, and Tuesday's conditions are anticipated to be no exception, potentially affecting the duration of the match. Considering the impressive performance of the Indian team against Pakistan, it's challenging to place bets against them. Nevertheless, we can anticipate an exciting cricket match, as the Sri Lankans are unlikely to make it easy for them. We expect India to do well in this game.
