IND vs SL: Team India’s Strategy to Recreate Wankhede Magic Against Sri Lanka

The 33rd match of the ongoing ICC World Cup 2023 is going to be played between India and Sri Lanka. The match between the two countries is going to be played at the historic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. It is to be noted that the two countries faced each other at this monastery in the 2011 World Cup final. In that match, the Indian team won a great victory and became the champion. India has played excellent cricket so far in the ongoing tournament and has won 6 out of 6 matches and is currently second in the points table with 12 points. On the other hand, Sri Lanka almost exited the tournament after 2 wins in 6 matches.

There is speculation about what will be India’s starting XI in this match. Because there are likely to be multiple changes in the Indian team in Mumbai. Shreyas Iyer got a chance in 6 matches but could not prove himself in that way. The team can give a chance to Ishan Kishan in that place. On the other hand, Mohammad Siraj has lost his form in this World Cup. Mohammed Shami has bowled brilliantly in the last two matches at that place. As a result, there is a possibility of playing Ravichandran Ashwin or Shardul Thakur in place of Siraj against Sri Lanka. Fans are hoping to see a great fight between the two countries on Thursday.
