Welcome to our Preview for IND vs SL 1st T20. After defeats in tests and ODIs, the format now comes to a point where SL will feel a little comfortable. This is our probable playing XI for India vs Sri Lanka 1st T20.
Apart from the 1st ODI, Sri Lankans never looked like they could trouble India. In the 3rd ODI, they tried attacking the opening bowling. Halfway in the Innings they looked like they succeeded. But ypu can’t go further with middle order this crumble-prone.
On a good day, any team can win a T20 match. It just needs one individual to click and then tables turn easily than ever. India will keep that in mind. They have had their fair share of scares in near past with T20s.
However, all things considered, On paper and in practice, India are still favorites. Sri Lanka has explosive batsmen whk could well change the game, but they have found lacking in skills. It would be interesting to see the clash.
