Asian Games Play-offs Semi-Finals: India vs Sri Lanka Match Preview Odds & Predictions
India will lock horns with Sri Lanka in the Asian Games play-offs semi-finals on Thursday. India have won their last five games, while Sri Lanka have lost four times in their last five. India will win here. Below are previews, betting tips, and odds.
India Preview
India beat West Indies by eight wickets in their last game, putting them in a five-game winning run. In that match, West Indies batted first and scored 295 runs. However, Kuldeep Yadav, an Indian spinner, derailed their momentum by taking four key wickets. When it’s time for India to bat, they run after the target, making it look easy for them to meet it. With that mentality, Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli scored 110 and 139, pairing up to reach the target with eight overs left and sealing the win with eight wickets in hand. This team has been in better form, winning their last five games.
India XI
Shubman Gill, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Ruturaj Gaikwad, KL Rahul, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja, Aqib Nabi, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna.
Sri Lanka Preview
Sri Lanka lost by 223 runs in their last game against England, failing to reach two wins in a row. This team has been in terrible form, as they have lost four times in their last five games, and they won just once, getting victory over England by 16 runs, while the four losses were against England: the first loss was by 6 wickets, the second loss by 8 wickets, the third loss by 89 runs, and the last loss was in their last game by 223 runs.
Sri Lanka XI
Pathum Nissanka, Lahiru Udara, Kamil Mishara, Kamindu Mendis, Pavan Rathnayake, Janith Liyanage, Dunith Wellalage, Tharindu Ratnayake, Dushmantha Chameera, Eshan Malinga, Nuwan Thushara.
India vs Sri Lanka Prediction
India will win because they have won their last five games, while Sri Lanka have lost four of their last five there. With this win, I believe India will dominate this game and move to the final stage because their recent form matters a lot. I predict India will win the toss, with 1xBet offering odds of 1.95.
