Sri Lanka face New Zealand again after losing the ICC World Cup. We certainly expect an interesting match between the two teams in this Test match, moreover Sri Lanka team's current performance is very good, in which case they will definitely play well against New Zealand. Moreover, Sri Lanka team achieved a great win against England in the last match, so there is definitely hope for a win against New Zealand. However, although New Zealand are favorites to win the series, it will be difficult for New Zealand to win the match against Sri Lanka.
But the difference I see between these two teams is that Sri Lanka's win is pretty much assured as they are playing at home.


Sri Lanka team won the toss and decided to bat which is a good decision for Sri Lankan team, Test match is usually a long game where strategy should be used. And Pathum Nishanka, Dimuth Karunaratne entered the field as the opening batsmen of the Sri Lankan team but could not build their batting partnership. As the opening two batsmen got out after collecting only a few, the Sri Lankan players did not perform well on their own ground.
Thus, if the Test match continues to lose wickets, then there is a possibility of an all-out in the first innings, as the two experienced batsmen of the Sri Lankan team were dismissed early on, leaving the team under a lot of pressure. If they can't perform well at their home ground then they won't be able to win the first and first match. If the Sri Lankan team players are weak in terms of batting from the beginning then the chances of performing well later on will be very low.

We hope that even if Bangladesh cannot play a competitive match with India, we hope that we can play competitive matches. We don't want to compare how competitive the match between India, who is ranked second in Test ranking, and Bangladesh, who is ranked ninth in Test ranking, will be, but we as supporters of Bangladesh definitely expect that Bangladesh will play better than before. But the Test series win with Pakistan will surely inspire India with the Test. Our bowling action is much better than before and the batting has definitely corrected itself a lot more than before. So we can certainly wish for the best with India

The game is the game,So compare based on the rank is no mean.The team India was the great team and winner of the World Cup T20 2024,but the Bangladesh team also increasing their stand in the recent days of time.The team India had etheir best game in the recent days,So the Bangladesh team should improve their match performance in the high batting and bowling.So they give some good toughness to the team India.So in few match the India also loss the game.This was the welcome test match by the Indian team and fans of both team.
Bangladesh will play two test matches against Indian team that is in Indian soil and there I believe Bangladeshi bowlers will perform very well but I have doubts about batsmen batting well. Bangladesh's batting weakness has always been seen against the big teams, if its consistency is maintained against India, but the bowlers will not be able to win the match by bowling well alone. The batsmen have to take as much responsibility as the bowlers. Batsmen will score runs and bowlers will bowl well to prevent the opposition batsmen from scoring runs, but in big matches there is a chance of winning. Let's see if Bangladesh can do the same against India. Bangladesh has some experienced cricketers and this series depends a lot on them.
I am not expecting good performance by Bangladeshi International test cricket team because they are not that kind of players who will win against India.  Pakistani team is full of referenced players and that's why Bangladeshi team became successful to win the test series against Pakistan but Indian test cricket team is totally different from Pakistani team and they will win next match easily by high margin.

 Bangladeshi team will be recessive in this series. Virat will be in the full form and he will score centuries in this series. Rohit Sharma is also in good form and he can change match at any time.Bangladeshi team is not that kind of team that will give tough time to India . Indian team will play easily Bangladeshi bowlers because they are prepared for that kind of bowlers.

Only if the rain god goes easy on mortals, otherwise get ready for rain interruption and even a complete first day washout is on the card as the weather forecast is not promising.


Washington is an interesting case, he isn't even a first choice spinner in his domestic team and only got in the test team when he was part of the India tour of Australia, he was a bowling reserve for practice only and never meant to debut there. His batting is a big plus but it won't matter as long as you are not improving with the ball and so far, he didn't show any positive sign.

I guess, they will have to replace Ashwin with 1 batting-spin and 1 spin batting allrounder and hope they chip in together and bring at least 7-8 wickets and contribute with the bat.

Those domestic players are above 33 years means they won't be considered in my opinion and Washington Sundar is the only available off spin in Ind there's even anyone yet in India A team so as you said if he can tweak his skills he definitely got a big opportunity cause he got the batting ability which proven already so when there's the right time I think he should be given a fair run to decide whether he is capable of making it or then we have to go with left arm and leg spin for a certain period of time.
He's up on the pecking order for sure but at the same, every potential talent deserves a long rope but the problem is that the Spin slots are packed with Ashwin-Jadeja-Axar-Kuldeep and Ash-Jaddu will be there for at least the current WTC cycle or maybe 1-2 year more so atm, it's hard to fit him in the Playing XI. If by any chance India is playing with the 4 spinners and 1 seamer then maybe he could come as a replacement for Axar otherwise i don't see him in the playing XI

In the last series against England, India already used Jadeja/Axar and Kuldeep here n there so it's not like they are not trying this left arm and leggie combination, it's just you need a off spin option as well because it gives you enough variety.

I am really surprised to see these odds which shows that Sri Lanka cricket team is favorite to win this match. Although this match will be held at Galle, SriLanka but still we cannot rule out New Zealand from this test match.

Can New Zealand outspin Sri Lanka in Galle? This is a big question and the first day of this test match will reveal the many unanswered questions. New Zealand may have to adjust themselves to the SriLanka conditions early on but later they have the talent to out class Sri Lanka. A lot of hope and responsibility rests on Tim Southee shoulders to prove that New Zealand team are still favorite outside home too.  Wink

There are still a few days left for the matches to start, meanwhile I see that Allready is maintaining extreme excitement about these matches. However, in terms of this match and this series, my opinion is that Bangladesh will lose both the Test matches because India as Bangladesh's opponent is much stronger than Bangladesh in the place where the match is going to be played in India.  Although the Bangladesh team is a bit confident with their good performance against Pakistan currently, my prediction is that Bangladesh will be whitewashed in this series.

Having said that, if I have to entertain this idea then I'd focus on finding a replacement for Ashwin and Jadeja, the former in particular. Ashwin singlehandedly won us countless series at home with the ball and sometimes bat.
I doubt we will have a perfect replacement, especially for Ashwin because I don't really remember anyone bowling off spin these days the close to someone will be Washington Sundar but he is untested and definitely need lot of experience to have the tricky mind of Aswin like player who often do unorthodox techniques in his bowling.

We have hand-to-hand replacement for Jadeja which is Axar, but I don't think Jaddu will be leaving the long format at least for the next 3 years.
True, it's impossible to replace him as a cricketer and not many in the domestic knocking on the door with their off spin. There are fair amount of Leggie and left arm spinners tho and some of them are really good, with age in their favor but it feels like a drought of fresh blood in the off spin department and oldies like Jalal Saxena, K Gowtham etc still leading the chart in the domestic.

Washington is an interesting case, he isn't even a first choice spinner in his domestic team and only got in the test team when he was part of the India tour of Australia, he was a bowling reserve for practice only and never meant to debut there.

Bangladesh will also play three T20 matches also but yes, the first two test matches will set the tone. No matter how much we praise about the Bangladesh team, the fact is that India is much superior team and they will have the upper hand in this series. Also, this series is happening in India and it is not easy to defeat the Indian team on the Indian soil. I think if the Bangladesh team can play competitive in the test matches, it should be satisfying for them. Thinking to win the test is asking too much from the Bangladesh team.

If i remember correctly, last time the Bangladesh team visited India, it was 2017 when they played one test match against India. India won that match. Virat Kohli was the captain of India and he made the most runs in that test match, 242 runs. Mushfiqur Rahim lead the Bangladesh then.

Yup, the last series lost was against England in 2012 so at home, for Indians it has been 12 years since the last test series defeat. A total of 17 series won in this period, the longest winning streak for any team in test cricket. The second best is the 10 test series (Australia). Someday they will lose for sure because it's bound to happen but it's a mighty achievement.

Cheery on the top would be, Australia not winning any test series against India since 2014-15. It might change in the upcoming BGT though.

Correction: 4 tests (I made a mistake when I said 3 tests)** 2 against Australia and 2 against England.
Amazing achievement indeed. England or Australia are the only ones capable of breaking such an insane record if you ask me. MSD kicked it off while Kohli took it a notch higher and Rohit took it another notch higher.

What would the Indian team be like without this super trio across all formats. Wonder how much longer Kohli and Rohit can keep playing for the country.
Back in the day, everyone asked the same question, How would the Indian team survive without the likes of FAB-5 Sachin, Sehwag, Dravid, Ganguly and Laxman.

Players come and go, and no one can control that, but if the system is strong and doing its job, the new talented players will come up automatically and do well. So far, it's working for the Indian team and the uptrend trajectory should continue for at least the next 5-6 years. Yes, sometimes they will lose but it's part of the game.

Having said that, if I have to entertain this idea then I'd focus on finding a replacement for Ashwin and Jadeja, the former in particular. Ashwin singlehandedly won us countless series at home with the ball and sometimes bat.

We think again that Bangladesh won't be able to win a single match. But, given that Bangladesh improved their bowling lineup, the fans may expect some competitive games against India. Even if they cannot win, we expect play better than before.
Well said. I hope Bangladesh somehow make atleast one match competitive in order to provide more entertainment for the viewers.

If you check the stats between Bangladesh and India, Bangladesh mostly lost the matches against India, but the difference was very tight. I am not talking about Test matches but about ODIs and T20Is. As a neighbor, Bangladesh knows the condition of most Indian grounds, and they are familiar with such conditions.

Also, I noticed Bangladesh has been playing well against India, but they lost the match due to a lack of experience and team effort. So, yes, we expect to see some competitive matches, at least one if not all. But when it comes to T20Is, I hope they will try to win a game.

Indians are way ahead of Bangladesh. India's team is much stronger than Bangladesh's. But I do not want to deny that any team can have a good day and a bad one. Nobody knows if India is going to collapse or not. If you ask me to be neutral and place a bet, I would also bet for India. But look, we never thought Bangladesh would beat Pakistan in their own backyard.

I have strong belief it's never been right to compare Indian and Pakistani cricket even Bangladesh won series in Pakistan which was historic achievement for them but nothing new in the history of cricket because we all know how unpredictable is Pakistani team and their system is also having problems for years so they are suffering and have never won any series at home in years with India is team which having the best record at home, and they never lost any series in decades.

Maybe Bangladeshi team will have some confidence but now it's completely different game, and they need to stay wake-up instead of dreaming about their win in Pakistan things are completely different, and they are surely going to have the toughest time against quality bowling and batting hopefully broadcasters will be able to have good return of their investment as it's one-sided affair.

It sounds like another version of Kudrat Ka Nizam. Why should Pakistan have all the fun?
Lmao!

The right reason would be that, at home, India has lost only 3 4 test matches in the last decade and zero test series.
Holy smokes! Seriously? I knew that they were playing tests really well at home, but this is just outrageous. It boggles my mind that they still haven't won a WTC yet.

But as a supporter of Bangladesh, I want the Bangladeshi players to perform well and compete against a strong team like India. Bangladesh announced the team squad. Hope Bangladeshi players will perform well. Let's see if Bangladesh can do well against India.
Bangladesh were amazing in their recent series against Pakistan, but they are most probably going to be outplayed in literally every department by the Indians who are going in all guns blazing on their turf.

Bumrah, Ashwin, Jadeja, Kohli and Rohit are enough to send chills down any squad in the test format these days. Am betting on India to washout Bangladesh in this series.
Yes , you are right. Indian International cricket team is strong all over the World. They have top most batter of the World and Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are good hard hitters of that team and KL Rahul is also in good form and we saw Pandya in last World Cup when did last overs and the won the hearts of people and now public is very satisfied by the decision of Rohit Sharma. Rohit Sharma is good captain and he will capture Bangladeshi team very easily. He played in tough situations and he is  captain of Mumbai Indians and he is also captain of winner of last T20 World Cup. Bangladeshi team will lose this test series. We cannot compare Pakistan with Indian because there is no competition of India and Pakistan.
Team India announced the best team against Bangladesh where Rohit Sharma will lead the Indian team. India won the last t20 world cup under the leadership of Rohit Sharma and Rohit Sharma is a great captain.
India has good players in every position from opening position to middle order and lower order of the team. When the players are needed wherever the players are in this team of India. Even if Bangladesh can win two matches against Pakistan, this series against India will not be easy for them and it will be very difficult to beat India here on Indian soil. I am not thinking that Bangladesh will win against India. 
It is expected that Bangladesh will compete hard against India.
