IND vs SL 1st T20I Match Prediction: The first T20I match of the series is going to be played at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, Pallekele, Sri Lanka, on July 27, and the match is going to start at 7:30.
Team Preview of IND vs SL 1st T20I Match Prediction 2024
India will start a new era under the leadership of Gautam Gambhir, the new head coach of India. The team will also be under a new captain, Suryakumar Yadav, which was a surprising move by the team because he does not have much captaincy experience in the high-level league.
The team will be without many of India’s main players, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Ravindra Jadeja, who retired after winning the T20 World Cup. It will be interesting to see how Suryakumar Yadav leads the side because, in the T20I, Suryakumar Yadav also did not have a decent World Cup.
Sri Lanka will be looking to rebuild their team as they did not have a good T20 World Cup. However, their team mostly has many players who have been playing for a long time. Still, the balance is not what the Sri Lankan team is able to find as sometimes the batting collapses or bowling gives too many runs, which is why it is hard to win as a team, as in team sports, every aspect should work together a game to win it expects from few instances.
There were a few things that made Indian fans very angry with the selectors and the new head coach, Gautam Gambhir. They did not select Ruturaj Gaikwad, who was the top run scorer in the last series against Zimbabwe and also had a better average in T20Is, compared to Shubman Gill, who is not an ideal player in T20Is. Still, he was announced as the vice-captain in all three formats for India.
For the Sri Lanka side, the sad news came when both of their main pace bowlers, Nuwan Thushara and Dushmantha Chameera, were ruled out of the series before it started due to injury and health issues.
