IND vs SL Pitch Report

In the first match of the ODI series, at the R. Premadasa Stadium we saw that pitch was good for batting initially. But with the progress of the match, the wicket slowed down and brought the spinners into the game. Not much dew was seen and hence the wicket remained more or less the same throughout the game. 

 Fantasy value from the pitch report

  • The pitch will be at its best for batting when the ball is hard and coming on nicely. So, the top order batters from both teams have the best chance of giving you points.
  • The new ball bowlers might not get too much assistance from the wicket. Try and keep spinners from both the teams in your fantasy XIs. 


IND vs SL Fantasy Cricket Tips

  • Rohit Sharma looked in a great touch in the last game and will once again be one of the most vital picks for the match. Besides Rohit, you can also back Shubman Gill or Virat Kohli from the Indian top order. 
  • From what we have seen in the first game, the wicket will assist the spinners. So, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav and Washington Sundar will be the safer choices from the Indian bowling. 


IND vs SL Winner Prediction

The first ODI between the two teams was very closely fought. The balance shifted between the two teams throughout the duration of the game and ultimately ended in a tie. Both the teams are looking try out their various options before the Champions Trophy 2025 and we can expect the same in this game too. Keeping the conditions in mind, the team that bats first might have an advantage in this game. 


IND vs SL Top Player Picks

Rohit Sharma (IND)

The Indian skipper looked in fine touch in the first ODI. Rohit Sharma played a fluent knock and scored a quick fire 50 to set up things for his team in that game. He seems to have the form with him and will be one of the safest picks for the game. 

Kuldeep Yadav (IND)

The Indian left-arm wrist spinner might not have picked up more than a wicket in the last game, but he was looking in a good rhythm and was getting plenty of assistance from the track. Having already played one game on this wicket, Kuldeep Yadav will have a better idea of what to do and might turn out to be one of the highest point earners. 

Pathum Nissanka (SL)

The Sri Lankan opener enjoys this format of the game and he showed that in the first ODI. Pathum Nissanka has the form with him and will be one of the must-choices for the match. 

Dunith Wellalage is in a good all-round form [X]Dunith Wellalage is in a good all-round form [X]

Dunith Wellalage (SL)

This Sri Lankan all-rounder was not only efficient with the ball but also made a valuable contribution with the bat in the first ODI. Dunith Wellalage has the form going in both his trades and he will be one of the important picks for the game. 


IND vs SL Differential Picks

Virat Kohli had a good start in the first ODI [X]Virat Kohli had a good start in the first ODI [X]

Virat Kohli (IND)

The Indian maverick got dismissed after setting things up for himself. However, Virat Kohli is a master of this format and he enjoys playing against Sri Lanka. Therefore, he could be a game-changing pick for this game. 

Wanindu Hasaranga (SL)

After an ordinary T20I series, Wanindu Hasaranga looked in good rhythm in the first ODI. He made important contributions with both the bat and the ball. Given the form that he has gained in the previous, Hasaranga will be one of the most crucial picks for this game. 


IND vs SL Fantasy Expert Advice

Given the nature of the wicket and how the players have performed in the first match, a 1-6-2-2 or a 1-4-2-4 combination might work in this match.
