IND vs SL WC comparison
After securing victories in six consecutive matches, Rohit Sharma and his team are set to face Sri Lanka in a league-stage match at the 2023 ODI World Cup, scheduled to take place at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday. The Indian cricket team enters this contest following an impressive 100-run win against defending champions England in Lucknow last Sunday.
On the other hand, Sri Lanka faced a setback with a loss to Afghanistan in Pune, following their victory against England at the Chinnaswamy Stadium the previous week. The team, led by Kusal Mendis, has managed to secure just two wins out of six games so far. As the tournament progresses towards its crucial stages, the chances of Sri Lanka securing a spot in the semifinals appear to be diminishing.
