IND vs SL Team Previews
India
India will be feeling very confident as they registered a thumping win over arch-rivals Pakistan in their latest fixture. They will now look to build up on the momentum as they prepare for the upcoming World Cup.
The top-order batting was outstanding for the Indians. Shubhman Gill and Rohit Sharma, who put up an unbeaten century stand against Nepal, were once again in prime form as they slammed individual half-centuries to lend a solid base.
Virat Kohli is back at his peak as he slammed the 47th century of his ODI career. KL Rahul, who was playing his first ODI after a gap of almost 6 months, appears to be fully fit as he scored an unbeaten ton. Coming to the bowling, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj make up for a potent opening pair and will look to exploit the overcast conditions in Colombo.
Kuldeep Yadav picked up a fifer in the match against Pakistan and displayed that with accurate line and length, he can be effective under any conditions.
India Playing 11
Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Ishan Kishan, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj.
Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka is in excellent form at the moment. The team has won each of its last 13 matches, which is the second-largest winning streak in ODI history and the hosts will be eager to maintain that.
Pathum Nissanka and Dimuth Karunaratne haven’t been in the best of forms this season but given the fact that both of them are extremely talented, we expect them to bounce back sooner than later. The middle order has been a driving force of Sri Lanka's batting prowess.
Sadeera Samarawickrama and Kusal Mendis are in good touch and have scored two half-centuries each. Charith Asalanka has batted well in patches but the team will want him to play a big inning if they want to beat a quality side like India. Dasun Shanaka's batting too has left a lot to be desired. Kasun Rajitha and Matheesha Pathirana will start the proceedings with the new ball.
Pathirana has bowled quite a bit in the recent IPL and that experience might come in handy. Maheesh Theekshana has Dunith Wellalage have picked up 10 wickets between them and will be effective on the pitch at Colombo.

Pitch and Conditions
The way that the Indians batted on this pitch in the last match shows that it is an excellent batting track. However, there is movement for the quicker bowlers through the air as well as from the pitch. The batsmen will need to see off the new ball. The surface has moisture in it and the odd ball might keep low. The spinners will come into action during the second half.
The weather has been cloudy over the last few days and there have been plenty of interruptions due to rain. Tuesday is expected to be no different and we might very well have a curtailed match.
