Match Preview
Sri Lanka is all set to face India’s second-string team in the upcoming 3-Match ODI series from July 18 at the R. Premadasa Stadium.
The upcoming series is going to be very special from India’s point of view as we are going to witness some young guns play under the leadership of experienced Shikhar Dhawan for the first time. While Bhuvaneshwar Kumar will be the vice-captain of team India.
This is a good opportunity for the young players to express themselves in the absence of core players such as Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Jasprit Bumrah.
Sri Lanka, on the other hand, will be led by Dasun Shanka and will be hoping to give a tough fight to the second-string Indian side which seems to have an edge over the hosts.
India is coming off a 3-match ODI series win against England at home while Sri Lanka is coming off 3 back-to-back ODI series defeats. Talking about their spots in ICC rankings, India is currently ranked 4th while Sri Lanka is placed at the 9th spot.

Pitch Report
The pitch at the R. Premadasa Stadium is a batting-friendly one and is expected to assist the batters. However, the pacers might get some help in the second half of the match. The teams batting 2nd haven’t been successful in chasing the targets as the surface tends to slow a lot in the latter half of the match, hence batting first would be a good option for the toss winning captain.
