Follow Us
India vs Sri Lanka: India and Sri Lanka are all set to lock horns with each other to play their second and third match respectively, in the group stage of the SAFF Championship 2021. Let’s check out the preview of both the teams before the fixture and also the television broadcaster where the match will be live.
India vs Sri Lanka: Preview
India soon needs to level up their momentum in the SAFF Championship after their draw in the first match against Bangladesh. Currently they are at the 3rd place in the table with just one point to their tally. Against Bangladesh the match ended in a 1-1 draw after a terrific contest till the 90th minute. Udanta Singh’s pass to Sunil Chettri in the 26th minute inside the box resulted in India leading 1-0 in the match but Bangladesh were playing 10 men and were very quick at counters, not being able to convert until the 76th minute when Yeasin Arafat headed the ball into the net to give Bangladesh the equaliser as the teams returned to their dressing room with one point each in their name.
Sri Lanka has lost both of their matches in the SAFF Championship yet and will need to soon figure out their errors if they look to keep their hopes alive in the competition. Their last match against the Nepal national team ended in a loss as their opponents outclassed and earned the vital 3points in the early stages of the competition. Nepal took a comfortable 2-0 lead much ahead of the 1 hour mark but a stunner from Marvin Hamilton gave Sri Lanka the much needed confidence at the 57th minute. All hopes were gone when Nepal came in with the third goal of the match to seal the result of the match even though a late penalty goal from Sri Lanka at the 93rd minute was not much of a threat for them, ending the match in a 3-2 scoreline.
