INDL Team News
Virender Sehwag and Sachin Tendulkar opened the batting for India last time out in a strong opening XI. The players to sit out of the opening game, who are likely to feature in this exhibition at some point, were giant bowler Abey Kuruvilla and all-rounder Sanjay Bangar.
INDL Key Players
Sachin Tendulkar: Hit seven fours as he started the tournament with 36 in an opening partnership of 83 with Sehwag.
Virender Sehwag: Still key with the bat at the top of the order, he proved his quality by hitting 74* from 57 balls – including 11 fours – to guide India to victory last time out.
Zaheer Khan: One of three bowlers to take two wickets last time out, which was hardly a surprise given he only recently was in good form at the Abu Dhabi T10 League.

SLL Team News
Sri Lanka pulled no real surprises for their opening game, with a team led by captain Tillakaratne Dilshan, who opened the batting alongside World Cup winner Romesh Kaluwitharana. Malinda Warnapura and Thilan Tushara were the two to miss out for the first game.
SLL Key Players
Tillakaratne Dilshan: Started the innings with four fours in his brief innings at the top of the order, but it was his bowling which earned the man-of-the-match award as he took 3-35.
Muttiah Muralitharan: Wicketless last time out which does not happen very often, the iconic spin bowler remains among the key players to watch in this tournament.
Chaminda Vaas: Set the tone with a wicket with the third ball of the match last time out, reminding everybody of the quality he used to produce with his left-arm pace.
SLL Team Form
Tillakaratne Dilshan’s bowling was key as Sri Lanka started with victory against Australia. Chaminda Vaas, Dilshan and Rangana Herath helped reduce Australia to 31/6 in pursuit of 162 to win, and Dilshan then dismissed Nathan Reardon as he threatened to single-handedly lead the Aussies to a comeback win. They eventually finished 154 all out, with Dilshan running out Xavier Doherty to seal victory.
