IND vs SL, 1st T20I, Sri Lanka Tour of India 2022, Dream 11 Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing 11, Pitch Report, and other updates

IND will be taking on SL in the 1st T20 match of Sri Lanka Tour of India 2022 on Thursday. The IND vs SL game will be played at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow. IND having whitewashed West Indies in both ODI & T20 series and also becoming the number one side T20 rankings, will be full of high confidence. They would like to continue their good form. They will surely miss the services of Suryakumar Yadav and Deepak Chahar. But the good news for them is that Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja are back in the squad.

On the other side,  SL would hope that their fortunes change. Had a forgettable series where they lost 4-1 Australia in the 5 match T20 series. But having won the last game of the series, they too would like to have the result of this series in their favor. They will miss the services of a man in form Wanindu Hasaranga who was recently bought by RCB in IPL for a price of 10.75 crore rupees.

Who Will Win – Match Prediction

IND is going through a good form after having whitewashed WI in the recently concluded ODI ad T20 series. They would like to utilize the home conditions and put their hands on another bilateral T20 cup. On the other hand, SL too will like to move on after having a hard tour of Australia where they lost the 5 matches T20 series 4-1. They won the last match of the series and saved themself from getting whitewashed. Seeing the form of the Indian team and also having the home advantage, they are the favorites without any doubt.
