ICC World Cup 2023: India vs Sri Lanka – Match Preview, Odds, and Predictions on Betadda

India and Sri Lanka will compete against one another on 2nd November, in the 33rd match of the ICC World Cup 2023, at the Wankhede Stadium, starting from 2:00 PM onwards.

 

India and Sri Lanka have fought nine times in the ODI World Cup, with India and Sri Lanka on the same boat with 4 wins each. The most iconic battle was the 2011 final, where India emerged victorious in Mumbai, due to Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s explosive 91 not out, off just 79 balls. Indians with a better all-round team are the clear favourites to win this match.

 

Pitch Report – The Wankhede Stadium pitch is renowned for providing favourable batting conditions, featuring a level playing surface and consistent bounce. This enables batters to execute their shots with ease and accumulate runs, particularly during the initial phases of the game. The team winning the toss should opt to bat first at this venue.

 

Players Face-Off – The anticipation is high for the upcoming showdown between India’s star opener, Rohit Sharma, and Sri Lanka’s Maheesh Theekshana. Sharma has an impressive 10,510 in 257 matches in his kitty, and Maheesh has demonstrated his talent, having taken 47 wickets in 32 matches.
