LIVE SCORE SECTION
Team news
With Kusal Perera out injured, the immediate hole Sri Lanka have to fill is in their opening slot. Minod Bhanuka is expected to fill in as wicketkeeper, and Bhanuka Rajapaksa is likely to slot in alongside Dhananjaya de Silva and Dasun Shanaka in the middle order. Fast bowler Kasun Rajitha is back in the squad after injury, and should make it to an XI that will likely have spinners of all varieties.
Captain and Vice-Captain Options:
Captain Options: Shikhar Dhawan and Bhuvneshwar Kumar
Vice-Captain Options: Dasun Shanaka and Suryakumar Yadav
Pitch and conditions
The R Premadasa Stadium last hosted ODIs in 2019, and was a characteristically high scoring ground. That should stay as it is, at least for the first few games on this tour. The temperatures aren’t expected to get high, but the humidity will be prevalent and there is a reasonable chance of rain.
Stats and trivia
- On India’s last tour to Sri Lanka, Akila Dananjaya took his career-best figures of 6 for 29.
- Shikhar Dhawan is 23 away from 6000 ODI runs.
