IND vs SL Match Prediction & Betting Tips, Asia Cup 2023
India take on Sri Lanka in the Super Fours of the 2023 Asia Cup on Tuesday afternoon at the R.Premadasa Stadium.

Read on as we preview Match 10 of the tournament. The day-night game begins at 15:00 local time in Colombo.
India are building momentum ahead of their home World Cup which starts next month. After a huge win against Pakistan yesterday, the net run rate of India has gone up to +4.560 and their confidence will be sky high in the contest against SL.
Sri Lanka beat Bangladesh by 21 runs in Colombo on Saturday evening and also beat Afghanistan by a very small margin in their previous game. However, winning breeds confidence and they will fancy their chances against India.

IND vs SL Match Toss Prediction
The pitch should get easier to bat on as this game progresses and we predict that both skippers will want to field first in this match.
IND vs SL Pitch Report
With all the rain and covers on the pitch over recent days, this pitch has taken on moisture. A par score will be no higher than 300 in this match.
We saw a high-scoring innings by India batting first on this track and can expect another similar innings in this match. The pitch can be called balanced now after India’s clinical bowling which showed the ball swinging in both directions and then a 5-wicket haul by spinner.
Colombo Weather Report
The weather forecast is worryingly similar to the previous two days in Colombo. Heavy thunderstorms are expected in the area during the afternoon of this game.

India Team News & Playing 11
IND Team News
There will be careful consideration given to the fact that some of India’s players have taken the field for three successive days by the time this game gets underway. We expect KL Rahul to be checked fully but it is anticipated that he will play again.
IND Key Players
- Shubman Gill- the young right-hander was showing off his full range of strokes during his innings on Sunday as he recorded another half-century in this format.
- KL Rahul- the right-handed middle-order batter returned to action after being out through injury since the start of May. He looked like he had never been away and was in brilliant form.
- Jasprit Bumrah- the weather continues to be very humid with the threat of thunderstorms never far away in Colombo at this time of year. The pace bowler will be very hard to face in this match.
- Kuldeep Yadav - His confidence will be high after he picked a 5-fer against a strong Pakistan batting line-up. He was pitching the ball in the right areas and getting wickets in all ways. He is certainly a key bowler for India in this match.
IND Team Form
India have brought their first choice team back together in Asia Cup 2023 and are playing brilliant cricket.

Sri Lanka Team News & Playing 11
SL Team News
Dasun Shanaka’s side continue to find a way to win matches and with this Super Fours game taking place at the same venue as their victory on Saturday, we are expecting to see the same XI for this match. No injuries have been reported from Sri Lanka’s squad.
SL Key Players
- Kusal Mendis- the keeper-batter is in excellent form with the bat and behind the stumps. He will be targeting his third successive half-century in the competition in this match.
- Sadeera Samarawickrama- the right-hander took the Player of the Match Award after hitting eight fours and two sixes in his 72-ball 93 against the strong bowling attack of Bangladesh.
- Matheesha Pathirana- the young fast bowler comes into this match with eight dismissals to his name already in the tournament. His action is so unique that he can trouble even some of the world’s best batters.
- Maheesh Theekshana- Maheesh Theekshana has picked 6 wickets in 3 matches so far and if he pitches the ball well then he can be the answer to India’s Kuldeep Yadav in this contest.
SL Team Form
Sri Lanka are the most in-form side in ODI cricket in the world with 13 successive wins from completed games ahead of this match.
Sri Lanka Predicted Playing 11
Pathum Nissanka, Dimuth Karunaratne, Kusal Mendis (wk), Sadeera Samarawickrama, Charith Asalanka, Dhananjaya de Silva, Dasun Shanaka (c), Dunith Wellalage, Maheesh Theekshana, Kasun Rajitha, Matheesha Pathirana
