India vs Sri Lanka Live Updates: Pitch report by Ricky Ponting and Michael Atherton
India vs Sri Lanka Live Updates: It is the same pitch as the ENG v SA match – 64m and 69m square boundaries, the straight boundary is at 76m. The pitch has a bit of shine, suggesting that it won’t lose its pace as the match unfolds. Bowlers face the challenge of consistently hitting a length between 6.5 and 7.1 meters, known as a hard length that’s challenging for batsmen. The weather is warm, and the pitch seems favorable for scoring runs, so the captain who wins the toss may choose to bat first. (Via TOI)

India vs Sri Lanka Live Updates: Ashwin expected in today’s playing XI for India
“All sorts of combinations are possible. You can still play with three spinners and two seamers if need be,” the skipper said in response to a query if there will be changes in the bowling line-up for the game against Sri Lanka.
“In this World Cup, you have seen spinners actually are the ones who are stopping that run-flow in the middle overs. I am keeping my options open, whether we have Hardik (Pandya) or not, at this point in time to play three spinners or not,” he said.
“If the situation demands for us to play three spinners, we will play three spinners. I feel spinners actually with a lot of skill-set can put the brakes on the scoring rate in the middle overs. Our spinners have got so much skill bowling in these conditions,” he added.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Updates:”Defeat in Asia Cup will give motivation to boys”
“I would like to think that the defeat in the Asia Cup will add some motivation. I’d rather hope that the defeat in the Asia Cup would give more motivation to the boys to come out and obviously fight tomorrow, show plenty of spirit… They’re a very good side, we know that, we’ve seen them play some superb cricket this tournament so far. But I think it’s a good opportunity for our boys to show what they’re made of as well. So hopefully, the defeat in the Asia Cup will give motivation to the boys,” Silverwood said at the pre-match press conference.
India will be looking to replicate the result of their last World Cup encounter at the Wankhede Stadium. With the past working against the Sri Lankan team, Silverwood admitted that the team is aware of the history and will be motivated to perform against the Men in Blue.
“Yeah, the boys are very aware of the history, to be honest. Obviously, players do talk about past history of their team as well and the results that they’ve had. But I mean, let’s be honest, it’s a great stadium. We walked in today and the first thing you do is go, wow, this is a great place to play cricket. And when you stood out in the middle, you get that sort of goosebumps. So, for me, there’s plenty of things out there to motivate them to go perform in front of what will be a packed house tomorrow as well,” Silverwood added.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Updates: What exactly is the India v Sri Lanka rivalry?
Over the years, it has been one of friendship and one of being allies. However, this is not to say that it has been easy. There are many layers and nuances, differences and points of distinction, even if only 40 kilometres separates the two countries by sea.
On the field, the relationship between players has always been one of mutual respect. India have won more, are the most powerful board and often acts high-handedly towards its less fortunate neighbours. Most recently the home team at the Asia Cup was made to feel like they, among others, were only there to make up the numbers. There was a reserve day for an India-Pakistan league match as if that was all that mattered and for none of the other games.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Updates: Sri Lanka’s focus on death batting, bowling in middle overs, says coach Silverwood
Sri Lanka head coach Chris Silverwood said these are two areas they have spoken about within the team after the defeat to Afghanistan.
“When we do get a good start it’s making sure that we finish innings off strong and obviously push on to big scores, and then taking wickets in the middle phase is something that we’re constantly working on. It’s not easy on good wickets but we have to find a way and we have to find a way of taking those wickets. Otherwise, you’re allowing other people to get big scores, making our lives difficult,” said Silverwood in his pre-match press conference ahead of the clash with India on Thursday.
