IND vs SL Preview: 

• Shubman Gill hit 121 in Friday’s final Super Fours match and the opener is well worth backing as India’s highest run scorer against Sri Lanka. Kuldeep Yadav has a strike-rate of 18.33 in the 2023 Asia Cup and the wrist spinner is our tip for India’s top wicket taker in this game.
• Kusal Mendis hit 91 runs from 87 balls against Pakistan and the keeper-batter is our pick for Sri Lanka’s highest run scorer against India. With the ball, Dunith Wellalage has taken 10 wickets at an average of 17.20 in this campaign and the spinner is a strong choice for Sri Lanka’s top wicket taker on Sunday.
• With best figures of 5-25 in in the tournament so far, we recommend backing Kuldeep Yadav to take over 1.5 wickets in this match.

Weather & Pitch Report: 

Weather: ⛅

The Colombo weather forecast is similar to what we have seen throughout the Super Fours with high humidity and a chance of rain interrupting play from time to time. 

Pitch Report of IND vs SL:

Although this can look like a good batting wicket at times, there is assistance from the pitch for the bowlers and overhead conditions which also assist the swing bowlers.

Toss Prediction: 

The three times a skipper chose to bat first in the Super Fours yielded only one victory and we predict that both captains will want to field first ahead of this match.

IND vs SL Team NEWS: 

IND Team News: 

Ahead of Friday’s match with Bangladesh, there were five changes to India’s side with Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah all rested. We expect Rohit Sharma to bring all the players back into the team for the final of Asia Cup 2023.

SL Team News: 

Kusal Perera came in at the top of the order for Sri Lanka in their final Super Fours game with Pramod Madushan coming in to bolster the pace bowling attack. Maheesh Theekshana will not be available for the final as he has been ruled out because of injury. So Sri Lanka have to make changes in their playing XI which played against Pakistan.

Winning Chances: 

It has been a very entertaining 2023 Asia Cup so far and the winner of the tournament will be decided in this final. Although it has been frustrating at times with the weather, we have seen some excellent batting and bowling across the competition.

However, India have a much stronger batting line up and we are backing them to win.
