Sri Lanka Team News & Playing 11
Team Sri Lanka has not been keeping a good form of late and it being Kumar Sangakkara's last tournament, the team would surely want to bid adieu to him on a winning note. However, hosts have a whole lot of batting woes to address. Keep aside Mathews and the batting line-up looks flat. Karunaratne and Kaushal Silva are not at all up to the mark. Chandimal is a promising player, but it seems like there is a long way to go. As for the bowling attack, Prasad is an excellent player to rely upon. Nuwan Pradeep and newcomer Fernando are key players to look up to.
India Team News & Playing 11
Kohli & Co would look forward to an aggressive team play on Wednesday. One major setback to the visitors is absence of their most prolific batsmen, M. Vijay, due to injury. Their last overseas Test win came at Lord's in the year 2014. Virat may be having a young team by his side, however, K L Rahul, Dhawan, Rohit Sharma and Rahane's presence is a big boost. As for bowling, there is not much to be happy about. Ishant Sharma has not been able to perform for some time now. Ashwin is a bet India will count on. Harbhajan has a key role to play as well.
Team India is standing now at a spot similar to Pakistan. But, if rain plays the spoil sport then chances are that it will be a draw or may be visitors will be able to register yet another win.
Prediction
On paper, India looks like a more competitive team. However, the advantage of home condition can not be ruled out for Sri Lanka.
Considering the good batting conditions, it is assumed that winning captain will prefer to bat first. Provided bad weather does not interrupt, team India has slightly better chances. Moreover, cricket analysts are expecting a draw-like situation in the 1st Test match. Here are the betting odds for Sri Lanka vs India 1st Test to commence in Galle from Wednesday.
Sri Lanka 5, India 4.2 and Draw 1.74
