Live scores and statistics - Sri Lanka vs India 1st ODI

While the Sri Lankan band was announced about 48 hours before the start of the series, the sequel is clearly not a word you would like to use in this context.

 

After arriving in Sri Lanka in late June, the Indian Team led by Shikhar Dhawan had ample time to prepare. It may seem like a contradiction but their opponents - the home party - had been separated a few days ago after members of their group on their last trip to England were tested for COVID-19.

 

The side of the second Indian rope? Not to mention the obvious, India has lost most of its players of its choice, and England are currently preparing for a five-match Test series. That means the likes of Shikhar Dhawan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Hardik Pandya will make many of the first XIs in the world.

 

Although India reached the Sri Lankan coast with a second group of ropes, they probably have twice as much experience as their rivals.

Sri Lanka with the exception of Dickwella, Mendis, Gunathilaka and Perera Sri Lanka is losing the services of the former captain - you can see how quickly it is changing in these parts of the world - Kusal Perera after a shoulder injury. Of the changes that have taken place, Dasun Shanaka has taken over as the captain of white football in Sri Lanka.

Niroshan Dickwella, Kusal Mendis and Danushka Gunathilaka have been suspended for violating the bio-bubble in England. With Dickwella, Mendis and Perera missing, Sri Lanka are likely to accompany Minod Bhanuka to wicket-keeping operations.

Other players who will feature in the newly announced Sri Lankan team are Banuka Rajapaksa, who was fined by the SLC earlier this month for breach of contract, Lahiru Udara's untrained striker and Ishan Jayaratne. Pacers Lahiru Kumara and Kasun Rajitha also found a place in the team.

 

Sri Lanka is passing by in a bad way, and has been going on for a long time calling it a lake. The team has lost 7 of its last eight ODIs this year while losing 12 of its last 13 of its 13. In fact, as of July 2016, the team has lost 60 and won only 26 ODIs.

All eyes on Shaw, SamsonShikhar Dhawan will open the beating of the guests next to Prithvi Shaw. Devdutt Padikkal is another option but club officials will want to invest in the Shaw form. Padikkal has been in contact with silk but Shaw is clearly at the forefront of the series.

 

Suryakumar Yadav, who recently impressed in his second T20I against England, will strike at number 3 and Sanju Samson will take on wicket-keeping and number

If there is no other anchor in India's ODI wing, Manish Pandey, despite having unpopular world numbers, is likely to get a match at number 5. Hardik Pandya and Krunal Pandya give India balance and fire power at numbers 6 and 7. India can also look at Krishnappa Gowtham at number 7 but also, the Krunal had a place.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar, India's vice-captain on the trip will be the team's best player. He will partner with Deepak Chahar or Navdeep Saini to create a new football attack. Given that Chahar may be called up for the T20Is, management could look into Navdeep Saini who is in a state of indifference these days. Kul-Cha might play together.

 

Sri Lanka are expected to open with Pathum Nissanka and Avishka Fernando, and Oshada Fernando and Dhananjaya de Silva - who stand out in the England tour - taking 3rd and 4th place. Newly-appointed captain Dasun Shanaka Chanakya is expected to hit number 5 and Wanindu Hasaranga at 6.

In the absence of Niroshan Dickwella, Kusal Perera and Kusal Mendis, Minod Bhanuka is likely to keep wickets.

Chamber Karunaratne, Lahiru Kumara and Dushmantha Chameera will be the top picking picks in Sri Lanka. Lakshan Sandakan will combine the spin department with Dhananjaya de Silva and Wanindu Hasaranga.

Here's a look at the XIs that may be playing:

Sri Lanka - Pathum Nissanka, Avishka Fernando, Oshada Fernando, Dhananjaya de Silva, Dasun Shanaka (c), Wanindu Hasaranga, Minod Bhanuka (wk), Chamika Karunaratne, Lahiru Kumara, Lakshan Sandakan, Dushmantha Chameera

 

India - Shikhar Dhawan (c), Prithvi Shaw, Suryakumar Yadav, Sanju Samson (wk), Manish Pandey, Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Deepak Chahar / Navdeep Signed, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal

India vs Sri Lanka 1st ODI predictions: Who will win today’s match?

Most of their regular formats are in England to get a Test assignment, but India is just starting its white football tour in Sri Lanka - which has three ODIs and more T20s - as favorites. The first ODI will be played on Sunday, July 18 at the R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo.

 

Both groups have no key staff. While Sikhikhar Dhawan will be the captain of the Indian team for the first time in his decorating career, Bhuvneshwar Kumar will take over as deputy southpaw. Sri Lanka, too, has a new captain to replace Dasun Shanaka, who will take over from the injured Kusal Perera.

 

Perera is not the only one missing. Danushka Gunathilaka, Kusal Mendis and Niroshan Dickwella are serving a one-year sentence after being found guilty of breaking shells in England, while a delighted left-back Binura Fernando was reportedly unharmed.

 

In their last trip to Sri Lanka back in 2017, India reached a white 5-0 record in the ODI series. ODI head recordings over the past decade make it read the same way - India has won 24 games since 2011, while the Islanders have only six wins to show for it.

Apart from looking at the state of the series, India and Sri Lanka have a lot to play in the ICC Cricket World Cup Super League. The visitors have three carts and a lot of losses, while Sri Lanka are weak near the bottom with just one win in nine meetings.

 

India has many opening options to choose from, but Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan should easily play with the popularity of Devdutt Padikkal and Ruturaj Gaikwad being the combination of preferences. Shaw and Dhawan stood out on their own and as partners in the Indian Premier League, and will look forward to continuing in the same sense.

The central order of India may have had a period of time or two in Manish Pandey and Hardik Pandya, but the rest of the system looks ignorant. Ishan Kishan and Sanju Samson are likely to be shot directly at the wicket-taker, with Suryakumar Yadav expected to take his place in the No. 3.

 

The blue men have a lot of slow-bowling options to choose from - the mystery of the spinner Varun Chakravarthy, the experimental wrist of Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav, all around Krishnappa Gowtham and Krunal Pandya, and young Rahul Chahar. They can't go wrong with being selected in this department, as all these losers can do a lot for them.

 

Speed ​​attacks seem small on paper. While Bhuvneshwar is the undisputed leader of the list, he has Deepak Chahar and Navdeep Saini of the company. Chetan Sakariya is an exciting new addition to the side, his left arm variety gives him a great edge when it comes to building important matchup.

 

Sri Lanka has recalled some of the most common names in the Indian series. Banuka Rajapaksa, who recently made headlines for allegedly breaking a contract, has returned to the mix, as is Pacer Lahiru Kumara. Young player Avishka Fernando is returning to the team after recovering from an injury, while Dhananjaya de Silva is the vice-captain.

The Sri Lankan team is a great combination of youth and experience, but whether they will be able to fit well on the pitch remains to be seen. Shanaka has been the team captain before, but now he has a lot more to put on one opposition team in world cricket.

Various experts and former players have already chosen India to launch another ODI series in Sri Lanka. The Lankan strike system is very exhausted, it gives weight to what is being said and raises doubts about the skeptics ’ability to overcome the Indian hurricane.

The R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo has an average of over 300 innings, with the spin expected to play a major role in the ODI series. Sri Lanka have won each of the last five matches in the area, but India is a completely different fish tank.

 

It’s hard to choose against India by opening the series, even if the first-choice players aren’t there. The great depth of their squad, combined with Sri Lanka’s fierce game against England was recently commemorated, pointing to a one-sided ODI series.

"It is a great achievement for me to be the captain of the Indian side. As a leader, my idea is to keep everyone together and happy that is the most important thing," Dhawan told Star Sports 'Follow the Blues'.

"We have a team of lovely guys, great support staff, and we've worked before."
