After a while, India vs Sri Lanka is going to face at the Mumbai Cricket Stadium. India has the biggest batting lineup in the tournament. If they win just one match, India will be guaranteed a semi-final ticket. They met each other in the Asia Cup final. But Sri Lanka's performance in that match was very disappointing. Now it is a matter of seeing whether Sri Lanka can turn around against India. Earlier, two World Cup matches were played in Mumbai. Those who batted in the first innings scored 350+ runs.
Sri Lanka skipper Kusal Mendis opted to bowl first at Wankhede stadium in Mumbai. India has unchanged side in this match while Sri Lanka made 1 change Dushan Hemantha replaces Dhananjaya de Silva. Dilshan Madushanka cleaned up Rohit Sharma for just 4(2) runs. What a timber from Madushanka. When India last time faced Sri Lanka at Wankhede in the ODI World Cup, they beat Sri Lanka for 6 wickets and lifted their second World Cup title under MS Dhoni captaincy. I think India will make it special once again and win this match.
Actually it seems a good choice after winning the toss because SL bowlers started very good even after the wicket of Rohit there were atleast three dropped chances between Kohli and Gill which is where SL is proving why they are at this stage.

A partnership is now building in between Gill and Kohli hope they would take the game away from SL while the game progresses.

72/1 at the end of 12 overs.

Despite being under a lot of pressure after losing the first wicket quickly, the Indian team is now in a very good position thanks to Gill and Kohli's responsible performances. Both Gill and Kohli are unbeaten with 50+ scores. At the end of 21 overs, India collected 126 runs. They are collecting 6 runs per over. And if this continues India will give 350+ targets today.

At the beginning of the innings, the Sri Lankan bowlers are bowling quite well. But now their bowling looks like they have lost the truck. India's two batsmen are controlling the match. Sri Lankan bowlers are not able to take any advantage. Also Sri Lanka's fielding is very bad today. A lot of fielding they missed today. If they want to do well against a big team like India, Sri Lanka needs to improve their fielding. Players need to be more diligent.

Today is the match of India vs Sri Lanka. Indian team is more confident because they are already qualified for the Semi-Final, and they both were met in the final of the Asia Cup which was won by India and India won that match easily, as they bowled to Sri Lanka batsman, and India also won 2011 ICC World Cup against Sri Lanka, meanwhile whenever they both team meet in final so always victory goes to India but today is not a final match so let’s see what happens.
India is much stronger than Sri Lanka to play this match. The crowd of India are also excited for this match and they will be supporting India with full enthusiam and pride. It may be another difficult day for the Sri Lanka team.
Sri Lanka is not doing well this season. They have lost 4 out of 6 matches so naturally there won't be much support for them. But if Sri Lanka can shine then any equation will not be a big hindrance for them. We all agree that the best team in this season is India who still undefeated. So against them Sri Lanka will be able to show something different which is hard for many to believe. Anything can happen in cricket but as India still unbeaten in this session they will definitely try to maintain their streak. But I hope to see a competitive match.
India is yet to lose a match. And has performed very well in every match. So naturally, India will be the favorite in today's match. Sri Lanka's performance is very erratic. This team is not doing well.
After a long time we saw Rohit Sharma playing badly. Rohit Sharma hit a boundary on the first ball and got out on the second ball. India lost this important batsman in the first over. Naturally, India's batsmen are now under some pressure. If Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli bat responsibly now, India can provide a big target. India has a chance to win today's match if they can set a target of more than 280. The pitch is not batting friendly. Also Indian bowlers are in very good form.
Sri Lanka's fielding is not good today. They have already missed two catches. Shubman Gill and Kohli's two catches were not caught by the Sri Lankan fielders. Picking up these two wickets would have changed the entire scenario of the match and the match could have been controlled by the Sri Lankan bowlers. Because of these two bad fielding, the Sri Lankan team will suffer today.
India team collected 33 runs in 6 overs. They are batting slowly. But if the wicket is not lost then the Indian team can provide a big target. India has this capability. Gill and Kohli should try to stay at the crease now. Sri Lankan bowlers are bowling very well today. Indian batsmen have to bat carefully.

India scored 60 runs in 10 overs of the power play with the loss of just one wicket. A very good collection I would say. After losing wickets in the first over I thought India's batting would be slow. But at the end of 10 overs, they collected an average of 6 runs per over. And India did not lose any more wickets. Shubman Gill scored 26 runs off 30 balls and Virat Kohli remained unbeaten on 32 runs off 29 balls.

Sri Lanka's fielding is not good today. They missed three catches and several fielding. This is not desirable in such an important match. And you are right that because of this catch miss the Sri Lankan team will suffer today. There is nothing surprising even if these two batsmen scored a century. Sri Lankan fielders should have been more careful.

Sri Lanka has won the toss and decided to bowl first. India lost Rohit Sharma early. What a delivery, absolutely sensational from Madushanka; a leg cutter did the trick for Sri Lanka. How many of us have ever seen a 2nd ball cutter? It was perfect. Sri Lanka will now try to put pressure on Indian batting giant -Virat Kohli- because he is the man who has been consistent for India over the years. His wicket will boost the Lankan team's morale. Gill, on the other side, is very quiet. I think he is assessing the pitch condition before charging the Sri Lankan bowlers.
A must-win match for Sri Lanka, and they are right on the money from ball one.

India are a very strong team at home and Sri Lanka will need to be very quick to beat them. Let's enjoy if India confirm or Sri Lanka keep their semi-final hopes alive.

I don't understand what happened to teams like Srilanka, Pakistan and Bangladesh. All of them are from the Indian subcontinent and three have shown poor performance in the World Cup. There was a time when Srilanka had players like Jayasuriya, Vass and others who could have single handedly taken the opposition team by suprise. Srilanka and other teams are going through a very bad phase in International cricket. The cricket boards of the respective countries should work on to find talents that can help them in regaining thier names.

Do you guys expect the match will be played for the full 50 overs or it will end before that?
India already qualified for the semis and the only matter is where they want to play the semis, Wankhede or Eden Gardens as there is no benefit or difference of topper of the table or 4th spot (IPL knockout makes more sense in comparison) so i won't mind some upset today, although look tough because Lankans are not doing very well and injuries are not helping their cause.

India takes on Srilanka at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai today. India is the favourite to win today, with this win they would comfortably confirm their spot in the semifinals. If Srilanka loses then they are out of the World Cup. I am not expecting any change in the playing 11 for India.

Betting Odds

India - 1.186
Srilanka - 5.03

Sri Lanka will not be able to face strong India in today's match, we will see how Sri Lanka, who were bowled out for less than 60 runs in this Asia Cup, will perform against India today. If Mohammad Siraj and Mohammad Sami both start at their best then we can't say anything for sure whether it will be all out under 100 runs today like in Asia Cup.

There are now only two spots open for the semi-finals. Seven teams are still fighting for those two spots. India and South Africa have already secured their place in the semi-finals so now the competition could be between Australia, New Zealand, Pakistan and Afghanistan. Every match is important for India as India will definitely not want to lose any match in the first round. India still have three matches left and I think these three matches are very important for them. If India can win against Sri Lanka today, then they may rest Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Md Siraj, Bhomra and rest these four players with bench players in the next two matches.

India has 3 matches remaining. They can experiment from now on, but there are still permutations that would see them out of the semi-finals. So I would be rather cautious about today's match. Maybe they can experiment with 1-2 players, but resting most of the senior players need to wait till the 8th match. To their credit, Sri Lanka is in very poor form and even if India fields a second string side they are not going to put up any resistance. But then, India can't take any chances. The position on points table also matters, as first placed team need to face the 4th ranked team in semis.

India needs to win today against Srilanka to confirm their spot in the semifinals. Hardik Pandya won't be able to play due to his injury. I don't think the team management would make any changes to the existing team. Shreyas Iyer need to score big today otherwise he won't be given a chance in the next. Already there are two more players eyeing for the fourth position. After Hardi joins the team after today's game there would be some changes in the team.
Looking at the current form of Indian team I don't think it will be easy for the Srilankan team. They are in the 7th place on the points table. If they lose today then would be the second team be out of the World Cup.
Does India need to win today? I don't think so. As far as I know, their slot in the semi-finals is already confirmed. So far they have 12 points from 6 matches. South Africa also have 12 points, but that is from 7 matches. Australia and New Zealand are far behind with 8 points each. Pakistan, if they win all of their remaining matches will only have 10 points. Afghanistan can reach 12 points if they win all of their remaining matches, but it is a very remote possibility. They have matches remaining against South Africa and Australia.

After defeating the big teams, India will definitely not want to lose against a team like Sri Lanka. India's next matches are against Sri Lanka, South Africa and the Netherlands. Apart from the match against South Africa, India will win the remaining two matches very easily.

Australia made a great comeback after losing the first two matches. They have won their last 4 matches and are now third in the table. New Zealand, on the other hand, won the first four matches but lost the last three matches, making it difficult for the team to secure a semi-final berth. Afghanistan and Pakistan are in good form now. If these two teams perform well in their upcoming matches, they have a chance to qualify for the semi-finals. We will have to wait until the last match to see which two teams will be third and fourth in the table.

India needs to win today against Srilanka to confirm their spot in the semifinals.
-snip-

My friend India has already qualified for the semi-finals along with South Africa. The other teams still have to win some matches before the qualification.
Australia is almost knocking at the door with 8 points, and their matches are against weaker teams, so you can say they will qualify easily. New Zealand, on the other hand, has to win all of its matches to book a slot in the semi-finals. Their defeat against SA has significantly dropped their net run rate. If Pakistan beats them with a margin of 80 to 90 runs or chased down the target in 30 to 35 overs, both teams will have a similar net run rate, and the last match of both these teams will decide the fate of 4th semifinalist.

New Zealand suffered a huge defeat against South Africa. New Zealand were not alert at all in this match.  South Africa won the match in his abudant style. New Zealand played very badly in this match. Dewan Conway was out for six balls with 2 runs.  And  with that Rachin ravindra is out after 16 balls. And in the next ball of the same Will Jong got out after playing 37 balls.And with that, it was South Africa third win. And with that, South Africa also out the Tom Latham. South Africa won big after New Zealand were dismissed for four in 15 overs
South Africa kept their beast mode on as they defeated New Zealand by 190 runs to keep the World Cup alive, up and exciting. South Africa came out on top against close competitors New Zealand, recording their first win over the NewZealand since 1999 in the Cricket World Cup. Marco Jansen's double strike lifted South Africa in the first Powerplay before Gerald Coetzee and Kagiso Rabada followed up with wickets of their own. Keshav Maharaj ensured that the spinners had their say and took 4 wickets  to ensure a dominant South Africa win.
