Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill have started in explosive style, by scoring 48/0 in 5 overs. Lankan bowlers are struggling, including the debutant Mohamed Shiraz. With a small target of just 231 runs, Sri Lanka can't win this match by being economical. They need quick wickets, and for that they need to introduce Dunith Wellalage and Wanindu Hasaranga as quickly as possible. But as long as Rohit stays at the crease any probability of a Lankan win will be very near zero. For now, it looks like India is heading for a very heavy win.
In the first ODI match against India, Sri Lanka scored 230 runs in the first innings and lost 8 wickets. In today's match, Pathum Nissanka did a great job opening batting, he scored 56 runs off 75 balls. Also Dunith Wellalage was in great batting form for Sri Lanka he scored 67 runs off 65 balls and remained unbeaten his batting performance was good today. However, I think a target of 230 runs is not too much in ODIs and as India is a strong team in today's match, they will surely bat well enough to go against Sri Lanka. And to meet this target, the Indian team must bat very responsibly and they will perform at their best against Sri Lanka to win the first ODI match.
Sri Lanka batted first in the first innings of the first ODI match between India and Sri Lanka. The batsmen of the Sri Lankan team could not perform as expected even after batting first. Avishka Fernando returned to the pavilion after being caught out by Arsdeep Singh off Mohammed Siraj's ball in the beginning. However, another Sri Lankan batsman, Pathum Nishanka, completed his half-century with a brilliant performance. If we look at the performance of the Sri Lankan batsmen in today's match, we will see that their middle order batsmen have completely failed due to which their team has not scored many runs.As India has fielded a full strength team against Sri Lanka in the ODI match, India may win against Sri Lanka today. Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer and some other players have been added to the Indian team. Maybe these few are enough for the Indian team to win against Sri Lanka.
After a 100% success in the T20 series under the leadership of Suriya Kumar Yadav, the team has been announced for the ODI format with Rohit Sharma as the captain.
The ODI format will feature most of the regular players who played in the last World Cup. Rohit Sharma This will be Virat Kohli's first series against Sri Lanka after completing the T20 World Cup. Although there is a possibility of Sri Lanka winning the third T20 match, they were defeated there, so it can be said that Sri Lanka does not have much hope for the ODI format. Team India can easily win against Sri Lanka with the team India announced. In the three-match series, if the match is not abandoned due to rain or the innings is not finished in a short range, then India will have a better chance of winning all the matches.

As we know, the Indian team has won all the T20 matches series and now I think they could win the ODI series too as they are performing right now. But I think now we have seen the too much insult of the Sri Lankan team as they won their last match back in 21st Jully 2021 against India. This was also in one day international not in the T20 or any format. Once more time the Sri Lankan team are going to play against any ODI match against India so this time once again we are hopeful with Sri Lanka because in the T20I, they played good and close finishes we have seen right at the end of that series.
In the case of the Sri Lankan batsmen in the first innings, I did not notice that they were not batting very well or that the wicket was behaving badly, rather that they did not do well against the Indian bowling line-up. Team India has a strong opening position, strong middle order and good finishers so they might not be planning too hard to win this match.

India vs Sri Lanka
The first match of the ODI series between Sri Lanka vs India will be played today. India's squad has seen some changes, the ODI series squad is much stronger than the T20 series squad. Anyway, India is a much stronger team than Sri Lanka. If I have to predict this match today then I will put India team ahead. I think India will win today and ODI series India will win. But Sri Lanka will be playing at their home ground, let's see how well Sri Lanka can perform. Sri Lankan players have to perform well otherwise ODI series will be whitewashed like T20 series.

I did not understand why Shivam Dube is in the team as we can see from his performance in the World Cup. In the full tournament we have seen poor performance, especially in the first two matches of the Indian team, when he was out on zero against Ireland and Pakistan and also dropping the catches as well.
Also, he doesn’t have any references so why is he playing in the team without doing any good performance
Yes, he played his first match for India in 2019 at the age of 27, but I think India have a better option than Shivam Dube, from the IPL as there is Sanju Samson (not playing well in this series otherwise amazing player.)
I am not watching this match live, just only tracking the score and it's obvious that SL don't have potential to beat a team like India and again today they are doing the same the only difference is Wellalage who is contributing from the middle order apart from that the story remained same. So far India is just trying every possible bowler who got the capability to bowl. 
It is boring actually. I don't understand the point in having a full-strength Indian side playing against a weak team like Sri Lanka. If not for lower order batsmen such as Dunith Wellalage and Wanindu Hasaranga, Sri Lanka would have struggled to get to a total above 200. Now it looks like they may get to 220-230, but that will be short by at least 80 runs. The organizers could have made the series less boring by adding another team like South Africa or New Zealand. But they wanted a direct bilateral series.
From there, they have to play with the mindset of at least 230 meanwhile this time, they have to make 60 runs more runs in 7 to 8 overs. At the same time, the Sri Lankan team do not have too many wickets remaining. The game has gone to the bowlers, now if the bowlers play well then they could win this match otherwise once again this time too they will lose it. Need to score quick and fast, the Sri Lankans

Yes, You are right. Sri Lanka is struggling at 165 runs by losing its 6 main wickets in the first 40 overs of the match. I think it's very difficult for Sri Lanka to score a good total or cross 200 runs in the first ODI match against India. Wellalage and Hasaranga are playing impressive so far scoring a partnership of more than 40 runs. Both are good spinners of the ball and rounder players. India Amazing bowling display today especially Axar Patel picked 2 important wickets by just giving 30 runs in his bowling spell. Now last 10 over is remaining in first inning Sri Lanka needs to paly fast if they get set a huge total of 250 plus runs then they have chances of winning the match.
The Indian team wants to make their backup in bowling by giving chance to batsmen to bowl. As in the last match, Surya Kumar did the last over and defended good score then the Indian team won that one match. And today they tried the same with Shubman Gill but that was such a poor idea because that was the most expensive over in this innings. In today’s match, only Axar Patel has played well but now his 10th overs has done so now the pacers have to bowl and they are doing good.
The most expensive over was from Shubman Gill. He gave away 14 runs in his one over that he bowled.

So far, the Sri Lankan team is batting on the 173 at the loss of six wickets while only 8 overs were remaining right now. This time the Sri Lankan team have to play fast to increase their target.
From there, they have to play with the mindset of at least 230 meanwhile this time, they have to make 60 runs more runs in 7 to 8 overs.

Sri Lanka has crawled to 178/6 after 43 overs. Dunith Wellalage and Wanindu Hasaranga are adding valuable runs for the 7th wicket partnership. If both of them stay there till the end, then Sri Lanka maybe able to get to 240-250, which may still not be enough against a full strength Indian lineup. All of the Indian bowlers were impressive today and they never allowed the Lankan batsmen to settle. This ODI series is going the same way as the T20I series, and I expect the matches to be one-sided.
We have seen Sri Lanka's overall performance in the T20 format. Although the last match was competitive, the Sri Lankan team lost the first two matches by a big margin.
India won all three matches in the T20 series. The last match was competitive, but in the first two matches we saw the dominance of the Indian players.
Lol, last match, it was miles worse than the first two. Just cause match went into super over, does not make it competitive, it was SL's match, it shouldn't have gone into super over, and they succumed to who? To guys who never bowled in international cricket before.
Since Gautum Gambhir is the new Head Coach of the Indian Cricket team, he is giving too much statements out as well and I think it is his first series as Head Coach that is why he is active but with the time we will see decline in this further statements. However, so far another statement has been out by him and he said that "We have Surya Kumar Yadav is the best option to bowl in the death overs."
It is such a big thing as we can say Surya Kumar original role is batsmen but Gambhir wants to make him all rounder as we have seen his wonderful bowling in the last over of the last third T20 match.

Please link source where you heard that statement.
Sri Lanka started really well, but now they are struggling at 100/4. Pathum Nissanka is still going strong at one end. Two of the Indian selector's favorites, Mohammed Siraj and Arshdeep Singh opened the bowling this time. And they did a good job. I hope they will perform similarly when they are up against strong opposition such as Australia or England. For Sri Lanka, Mohamed Shiraz is making his debut today. He is highly regarded in domestic cricket. He will share pace bowling responsibilities along with Asitha Fernando.

Sri Lanka's batting was very slow from the start of their innings. I know the pitch is not completely batting friendly. However, Sri Lanka's batting was very weak. And right now the Sri Lankan players have managed to collect only 114 runs in 31 overs. And the more important thing is that the Sri Lankan team has already lost 5 wickets. Dunith Wellalage and Janith Liyanage are now at the crease. I don't think these two batsmen will play big innings. Apart from opener Pathum Nissanka, no one could stay at the crease for long. Pathum Nissanka was able to collect 58 runs.
Indian bowlers are bowling very well today. Especially Siraj, Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav have bowled very controlled so far. Each took a wicket. My guess is Sri Lanka's innings will end before 170. It will not be difficult for India to win the match. The Indian squad today has talented and experienced players like Rohit, Kohli, Rahul, Iyer and Gill.

The Sri Lankan team has so far collected 45 runs for the loss of one wicket in 12 overs with wicket control. Today's match is likely to be won by Sri Lankan team but they need to perform well. Indian team proved to be very strong in cricket game especially in T20 matches, Sri Lanka team did not win a match in T20.
Indian team will definitely try hard enough to take their team to the top of the win, because if Sri Lankans start batting like this in this match then they can collect 230 plus runs. But it will never be possible to stop the Indian team with such a small target, so the Sri Lankan team must have a better performance and a reliable batting performance to win.

After winning the toss, the Sri Lankan team decided to bat after taking into account the pitch statistics of Colombo today. But Sri Lanka is not batting well. A total of 164 ODI matches have been held at this ground. Out of these 88 matches were won by the team batting first. Perhaps this is why the Sri Lankan captain won the toss and decided to bat.
I would not call this pitch bowling friendly. The average score of this pitch in the first innings is 231 runs. It cannot be called a bad score. But Sri Lankan batsmen are batting very slow today.
At the end of 20 overs, Sri Lanka managed to collect only 68 runs. Sri Lankan batsmen are collecting an average of 3.4 runs per over. And Sri Lanka have already lost three wickets. Pathum Nissanka remained unbeaten on 38 off 59 balls.
Mohammad Siraj and Axar Patel are bowling well today. Siraj took one wicket conceding just 11 runs in 4 overs. And Axar Patel conceded just 13 runs and took one wicket in 6 overs.
India won all three matches in the T20 series. The last match was competitive, but in the first two matches we saw the dominance of the Indian players. Sri Lankan players performed very well in the last match. So Sri Lanka will want to perform well and win in the first ODI match as well. As the match is Sri Lanka's home match and this team is quite strong in ODI format. So the Sri Lankan team will probably be able to put up a strong resistance against India today.
According to a news from ESPNcricinfo, Sri Lanka are missing 5 bowlers from their squad due to injuries. On the other hand, Rohit, Kohli and Kuldeep are returning to the Indian squad. So naturally the Indian team is considered as the favorite in today's match as well.

The match is likely to be abandoned due to rain. Above is the weather report. There is a chance of rain. The sky in Colombo is overcast. Now it cannot be said for sure whether it will rain during the game. However, there is a high chance of rain.
The match has already started. And right now Colombo's skies are clear. Sri Lanka captain won the toss and decided to bat. I highly doubt Sri Lanka will be able to provide a big target by batting first against India. Because the performance of Sri Lankan batsmen is very erratic. So I think it is very unlikely that Sri Lanka will deliver a big target today.
Sri Lanka lost their opener's wicket very quickly. Sri Lanka lost the wicket of Avishka Fernando to collect only 7 runs. Avishka Fernando's wicket was crucial for Sri Lanka. But today Avishka Fernando could not play big innings. Moreover, batting of Sri Lankan batsmen is very slow now. Kushal Mendis also couldn't play a big innings today. Kushal Mendis collected only 14 runs from 31 balls. At the end of 14 overs, Sri Lanka collected only 46 runs. The batsmen of Sri Lanka could not collect an average of 4 runs per over.
The Sri Lankan team has so far collected 45 runs for the loss of one wicket in 12 overs with wicket control. Today's match is likely to be won by Sri Lankan team but they need to perform well.

Sri Lanka had a decent chance at winning the T20 series against the Indians, but choked like fools on their own turf which is embarassing to say the least. Am not expecting them to win the ODI series either.
The big guns are back in the fold, but I don't like the fact that they removed Jaiswal since he is proving to be an all format beast these days.

Sri Lanka is a team that is continuously on the decline. Back in the 90s, they won the ODI World Cup and had legends such as Arjuna Ranatunga, Muttiah Muralitharan, Aravinda de Silva and Sanath Jayasuriya in their team. In the next decade, they were a bit weak, but still had players such as Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene. A decade gone, the only legendary player in their team was Lasith Malinga. Once he retired, it was the end of their international ambitions. Now they have a bunch of very ordinary players in their team.

Today will be the first ODI match between Sri Lanka and India team, but today's game has a big chance for Sri Lanka team. Because even if they don't make the T20, there is a chance to change their fortunes in the ODI matches.
But can the Sri Lankan team perform well?
Although the T20I matches were very easy, these matches could not be won.
However, the Sri Lankan team players can change their fortunes only if they can perform well in batting and bowling in this first ODI match today.
In the past T20 matches Sri Lanka team did not win, but India team captain changed and ODI match captain Rohit Sharma, but T20I match captain was Suraiya Kumar Yadav. But Suraiya Kumar Yadav is the successful captain because he managed the bowling and batting in the right manner with his experience and won the three matches by a wide margin. But Rohit Sharma will definitely try his best to use his full experience in this match to win his team as he is an old experienced captain.
