After achieving a big win against Pakistan, now Team India is facing Sri Lanka in Super Four on Tuesday. This match is also being played at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. This is the same ground where the India-Pakistan match was shifted to reserve day due to rain. However, the effect of bad weather can also be seen in the India-Sri Lanka match. This match started at three in the afternoon. At the same time, the toss took place half an hour before that, in which Indian captain Rohit Sharma decided to bat first.
The Indian team has come to play cricket for the third consecutive day. September 10 was the official day of the India-Pakistan match. The Indian team could play 24.1 overs that day. A complete 50-50 game took place on the reserve day on Monday. Now the team is playing another match on Tuesday.
However, captain Rohit Sharma and the team management fielded the same team and tried only one of the six players on the bench. Before the World Cup, the team management also has to take care of the workload. There is also concern about players getting injured, because most of the players have recently recovered and returned to the team.
There was a change in the Indian team
The Indian team had entered the match against Pakistan with full strength. The team had to enter the field with a forced change in the form of Shreyas Iyer. Shreyas suffered a back injury while fielding against Nepal. In such a situation, he was given rest and he was also given rest in the match against Sri Lanka. As captain Rohit told, KL Rahul came to know that he was playing five minutes before the match against Pakistan. However, Rahul played a brilliant century against Pakistan.
For the Indian team, players like Suryakumar Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Axar Patel, Prasidh Krishna and Tilak Verma are sitting on the bench. Shami got a chance against Nepal. In such a situation, the team management decided to take the field with three spinners against Sri Lanka. Surya is also included in the World Cup team. However, he has not got match practice yet. Bumrah is the X-factor of Team India and has recently returned from injury. Team India would like to preserve him till the World Cup. He is also playing against Sri Lanka.
Statistics in ODI between the two teams
There are already many injured players in the Sri Lankan team. They were forced to field only their strongest team and did not make any changes in the playing-11. Talking about the ODI record between the two teams, till now India and Sri Lanka have come face to face 165 times. Out of these, 96 ODI matches have been won by India and 57 by Sri Lanka. One match was tied and 11 matches remained inconclusive. The teams of India and Sri Lanka have clashed 36 times at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.
Out of these, India has won 17 matches and Sri Lanka has won 16 matches. Three matches remained inconclusive. Last time, in the 2022 Asia Cup T20, Team India's defeat against Sri Lanka in the Super Four proved to be decisive and India was out of the Super Four round. This time Team India will take revenge.
Chances of rain even today
There is a possibility of rain in today's match also. The sky will be cloudy throughout the match. There is a possibility of rain in the evening during the match. In such a situation, rain can spoil this match also. However, there is no reserve day for this match. In such a situation, the result will come today itself. That means, if it rains, the umpires will try to conduct a 20-20 overs game. If this is also not possible then the match will have to be canceled and both the teams will share one point each.

India: Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul (wicketkeeper), Ishan Kishan, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj.
