IND vs SL Preview

Sri Lanka, just coming from a defeat in Pune, was almost knocked out by Afghanistan. On the other side, India got a victory over English “BazBall” cricket.

The Srilankan side, at best could play a spoiler for other teams. And India, with one foot in the semifinal, would want to do some experiments with their bench strength.

Wankhede Cricket Stadium Pitch Report

The surface generally offers a batting friendly wicket with a relatively small boundary. However, there is an extra bounce that the pitch generates. Hence, pacers will dominate over Spinners.

Last result at the venue

SA – 382/5 (Pacers – 3w, Spinners – 2w)

BAN – 233 (46.4/50 overs) (Pacers – 9w, Spinners – 1w)

South Africa won by 149 runs.

India Team News

India should replace Shreyas Iyer with Ishan Kishan due the bad form of Iyer.
Batting order should remain the same. If Kishan plays, he will bat at 5. And then Rahul will bat at 4.
Though it would be ideal to chase at Wankhede, Rohit might choose batting first anyway for the practice (if he wins the toss). As they have just defended only in one match and the points table indicates that India will play in the semi final in this venue.

What are IND vs SL Fantasy Tips?

We suggest you to not choose any Srilankan player as your Captain/ Vice Captain.
If India are chasing, KL Rahul might not come to bat. But, if Shreyas Iyer is dropped, then Rahul would come at 4.
Sadira Samarawickrama is in good form. He can be a good pick as well.
If Srilanka bowl first, Dusmantha Chameera has a great chance of picking wickets in the death overs. On the other hand Kasun Rajitha can be good in 2nd innings as well.
Shubman Gill has a great chance to come back with a good knock in this match as he has a good average against India. So you can try him as your vice captain.
