India vs Sri Lanka Preview
India have enjoyed plenty of success over the opponents in recent months, with series win in all formats both home and away. Sri Lanka meanwhile will be having nightmares about facing up against India again but will be happy they have decided to rest Virat Kohli from the series, who was one of their main demons throughout. India have the number one ranking in their sights and can move close to it with a series win here. As we compare odds on cricket and in particular the first ODI, it will be interesting to see whether Sri Lanka can end a run of seven straight series wins for India or if in fact it will be business as usual for the hosts, who haven’t lost a series to Sri Lanka in 20 years.

India vs Sri Lanka Prediction
As we dive into the first ODI betting tips in greater detail, our betting tips suggest that India will continue where they left off in the Test series and be in dominant mood in this series. While there is a clear gulf in quality and form between the two sides, Sri Lanka will be happy to see the return of Angelo Mathews from injury and will be hopeful of giving a better account of themselves than they have managed in recent times. India will be without Virat Kohli but it represents a great chance for the rest of India’s batsmen to step up and contribute.
India vs Sri Lanka Betting Tips
On paper, India are massive favourites to win this match. Make no mistake, they will be looking to dominant from the off and after beating Sri Lanka 5-0 in their last series in Sri Lanka, they will be ultra-confident coming back to their own conditions. Add to that their record against Sri Lanka stretching back two decades and it is hard to see how Sri Lanka win the match, let alone the series. India have had a good year in 50-over cricket with their loss in the Champions Trophy final the only real bump in the road. With that in mind the hosts are great value at 2/9 to win the match with Unibet.
Any team in world cricket would be stronger with Angelo Mathews, but the talismanic all-rounder makes such a difference to Sri Lanka, not only as a player but a leader to boot. The return of the enigmatic Mathews will be good for the visitors and he will be relied on heavily to contribute with bat and ball, especially if the top order struggle. Mathews has always carried the hopes of his country on his shoulders and with that in mind represents good value to be his team’s top batsman at 4/1 with Betway.
