Team news
India
India will be coming into the game as the favorites, having won all of their matches in the tournament so far. They have a well-balanced team with a strong batting lineup and a potent bowling attack.
Their openers, Shubman Gill and KL Rahul, have been in prolific form, and their middle order is also packed with experienced batsmen such as Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Shreyas Iyer.
India’s batting line-up is one of the strongest in the world, with Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and KL Rahul all capable of scoring big hundreds. Shubman Gill is a solid opener, and Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja provide balance and depth.
India’s bowling attack is also very good, with Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, and Kuldeep Yadav all capable of taking wickets. Shardul Thakur and Washington Sundar provide additional options.
Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka’s batting line-up is led by Kusal Perera and Pathum Nissanka, who have shown promise in recent years. Kusal Mendis is a capable wicket-keeper batsman, and Charith Asalanka is a talented all-rounder.
Dasun Shanaka, a capable all-rounder, leads Sri Lanka’s bowling attack. Dunith Wellalage is a promising young bowler, and Matheesha Pathirana is a mystery spinner who could be a handful.
On the other hand, Sri Lanka has been a bit more inconsistent in the tournament. They lost their first match to Afghanistan but then bounced back to win their next two matches against Bangladesh and Pakistan.
Their batting lineup relies heavily on their openers, Kusal Mendis and Pathum Nissanka, and their middle order has been shaky at times.
Sri Lanka captain Dasun Shanaka on his team’s motivation. “The boys want to deliver for the country. As a team, we have been underdogs. Everyone wants to perform at the bigger stage, and these youngsters must show the world what they can do. That’s the secret of this young team.”
Pitch conditions
The conditions at the R Premadasa Stadium will likely favor the pacers, so both teams will look to their fast bowlers to deliver in the final.
