Japan does not play frequent matches so it will be a challenge for them against big teams. The players must have played in local tournaments but as a team they last played in U-19 World Cup 2020.
Japan has a few good batters in the team. They might not have been up against quality bowling but certainly can score a few runs for their team. Aditya Phadke, Nihar Parmar and Temo Rear are few good batsmen.
The bowling will depend on Aarav Tiwari, KieferYamamoto Lake and Shotaro Hiratsuka, who are seen as the future of Japan cricket.
Japan last played in U-19 World Cup 2020 where they failed to win a game.
Shotaro Hiratsuka, Aditya Phadke, Aarav Tiwari, Koji Hardgrave Abe(c), Kiefer Lake, Kazuma Stafford, Chihaya Arakawa(wk), Nihar Parmar, Tomo Rear, Charles Hinze, Hugo Kelly
This should be an easy game for Sri Lanka as Japan cricket team is not known for their cricket skills. Sri Lanka can use this opportunity to prepare for the big matches later in the tournament. Sri Lanka should win the game easily.
