In the ICC Cricket World Cup, India and Sri Lanka have met nine times. Both teams have the same overall record, with four wins apiece. Lately, however, India have dominated the Lankan Lions, securing victories in all five of their most recent ODI encounters. The last time these two sides met was the Asia Cup 2023 Final, which India won by 10 wickets after shooting Sri Lanka out for just 50. Team India have looked the most complete side in this World Cup and will start as favorites for this clash. Sri Lanka, of course, can surprise any tam on their day. But the form that India is in and the ability they have shown to overcome any challenge makes them a really tough opponent to beat. We feel India should clinch this contest .

India will officially become the first team to qualify for the 2023 World Cup Semi Finals if they beat Sri Lanka today....!!! 🇮🇳

India (Playing XI):
Rohit Sharma(c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas lyer, KL Rahul(w), Suryakumar Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj

Virat Kohli is impressed by Shubman Gill's shot 😃

92 (92) with 11 fours and 2 sixes - missed out on his maiden World Cup century by just 8 runs. Feel for Gill, he played exceptionally well.

Most 50+ scores in ODI World Cups:- (Cricbuzz)

Both teams have great potential and look very promising in every aspect of the game. However, the Netherlands’ inconsistency makes them less reliable over an in-form Afghanistan. Toss can play a crucial role in this game and the team bowling first can start with an advantage. Nevertheless, considering the strengths and weaknesses of both teams, we reckon Afghanistan will have a slight edge in this contest and start as favorites in our match prediction.

🚨Marcus Stoinis said, "Mitchell Marsh has sent me a message that 'I'll be home for a little bit, but I'll come back to win the World Cup'. He's clear in his mind".

Shubman Gill said, "I've learnt from Virat Bhai on how to minimise dot ball percentage. He keeps ticking the singles and doubles and then scores a boundary which puts pressure on the opposition. From Rohit Bhai I've learnt to smash the ball if it's in your zone"
