Sri Lanka vs India Match Prediction – Who will win today’s 1st T20I match between SL vs IND?

India (IND) will play a three-match T20I series against Sri Lanka (SL) starting July 27. For the Men in Blue, this series marks the start of a new era led by head coach Gautam Gambhir. The former opener will face a difficult assignment in living up to the lofty expectations established by his predecessors. The BCCI named Suryakumar Yadav as the T20I captain, with Shubman Gill serving as his deputy. India had just won a 4-1 T20I series against Zimbabwe under Gill’s leadership.

Sri Lanka’s players have just returned from the Lanka Premier League. The island nation has seen some leadership changes, with former opener Sanath Jayasuriya becoming interim head coach. Meanwhile, following the island nation’s terrible performance in the T20 World Cup 2024, Wanindu Hasaranga stepped aside from captaincy duties, and the board appointed Charith Asalanka.

SL vs IND Pitch Report

The Pallekele stadium surface tends to advantage batters, especially in the evening when the floodlights are turned on, because the ball goes more easily off the bat. However, as the match goes, bowlers who can change pace become more effective. Teams batting first often aim for 170 runs, which is regarded a competitive total at this ground. Despite this, the presence of dew in nighttime matches frequently causes teams to choose chasing, as it can make bowling more difficult later in the match.
