India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, World Cup 2023: India continues their ruthless march on the road to the 2023 World Cup semifinal, and after wins over Australia, Pakistan, New Zealand, England, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan, the Men in Blue have the opportunity to smash all permutations and combinations as they renew their battle against sub-continent rivals Sri Lanka.
With one leg already in the semifinal, India has a 99.5 percent chance of sealing a spot in the final four, but a win today at Mumbai’s iconic Wankhede Stadium will all but guarantee it. With six wins from six matches, India, with 12 points, are the only unbeaten team in the World Cup and on current form, are favorites to extend their victory march by another game.
India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: Cut to the here and now, Sri Lanka, the 1996 champion, and at one stage perennial finalist, has lost its way. The rebuilding phase after the retirements of various stalwarts has been an extended journey. In the present campaign, Kusal Mendis and his men notched victories over England and the Netherlands. However, losses against South Africa, Pakistan, Australia, and Afghanistan, have left the neighbors from across the Palk Strait, rowing a leaky boat on rough seas.
In the previous two World Games at this venue, the South Africans reigned supreme, batting first and winning by handsome margins against England and Bangladesh. Sri Lanka needs its runs and for now, only Sadeera Samarawickrama and Pathum Nissanka have offered sustenance.
Sri Lanka: Kusal Mendis (captain & wicket-keeper), Dimuth Karunaratne, Angelo Mathews, Charith Asalanka, Pathum Nissanka, Dhananjaya de Silva, Dushan Hemantha, Dunith Wellalage, Chamika Karunaratne, Kusal Perera, Sadeera Samarawickrama, And Mahesh Theekshana,
