India vs Sri Lanka will play in the 1st T20I of the West Indies tour of India 2022 at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow. We will cover IND vs SL Dream11 Prediction, Probable Playing 11, and Fantasy Cricket Tips.
India:
India are currently dominating their home season by registering a clean sweep against the West Indies in both T20Is and ODIs.
There are few new faces in the squad and it will be interesting to see how they fit their playing XI.
Sanju Samson’s inclusion at the top is the biggest highlight in the squad and also the return of Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja has strengthened the Bowling unit even more.
Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ishan Kishan are likely to open the innings with Rohit Sharma in the middle order. Shreyas Iyer will bat at 3 and Sanju Samson will be the key men in middle order.
Their Bowling unit will be led by Jasprit Bumrah. Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Harshal Patel are going to be the other two pacers.
India again will be the favourites and will look to get maximum out of the new players and find their perfect combination.
Sri Lanka:
Sri Lanka are coming after a 4-1 defeat against the Aussies but the conditions in India are likely to suit their style of play.
Their star all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga has again tested positive and is likely to miss the whole series.
Pathum Nissanka and Dinesh Chandimal are going to be their key batsmen along with Danushka Gunathilaka and Charith Asalanka.
Dushmantha Chameera and Lahiru Kumara are likely to be their key pacers along with Chamika Karunaratne.
Their best players are injured/Unavailable which makes their playing XI a little weak compared to the Indian line up but will surely look to compete.
