The encounter represents Sri Lanka’s only hope of salvaging some pride after a dismal home series. India have been in exemplary form and will aim to ram home that advantage in the single match of the series in the shortest format. The home side must win if they are to avoid a serious public backlash.

Key Players to Watch

The tourists’ T20 record is strong and the cricket predictions is for their openers Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma to get them off to a strong start. Strength all through the squad is impressive for India and if spinner Kuldeep Yadav plays, Sri Lanka could be in for an uncomfortable afternoon. Once again, for Sri Lanka, it is fast bowler Lasith Malinga who could swing it for the home side.

Both Teams Recent Form

Five ODI’s and five defeats hardly show Sri Lanka as a confident high performing side. India have dominated in every format of the series so far over their opponents and look likely to head home undefeated in the shortest format of the game. A change in selectors is in the pipeline for Sri Lanka following this dismal performance and it appears it cannot come soon enough.

Sri Lanka vs India Head-to-Head

The last time the two sides met in a T20 encounter, it was unsurprisingly India who went away with a five-wicket run at the 2016 Asia Cup. Having said that, the pair have a fairly even record in the short format. A total of ten games between the two have been played with India winning six and Sri Lanka four.

Sri Lanka vs India Prediction

India cricket team on the field

Considering current form and strength of the squads, it is hard to look past India for the win. However, T20 cricket is an untameable beast and all it takes is for one player to hit form at the right time. India should win but expect an improved performance from Sri Lanka as the twenty over game suits their squad better than any other format.

Sri Lanka vs India Betting Tips

The Indians to win at 4/11 with Betway represents good value when you consider the contrasting performances of both sides during the Indians’ tour of Sri Lanka. However, cricket betting odds also appeal for over 1.5 run outs in the match at 11/5 with Betway. As things get tight, risks get taken, and strong fielding from both sides makes at least run outs in the game look a banker.
