MATCH PREVIEW     

Indians have been on the top of the charts in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. The hosts will aim for their seventh win as they take a battered Sri Lankan side in the 33rd match. The Indians come into this game with a massive win against England, and they are the favorites to win here, according to most cricket betting tips. The Lankans went down against Afghanistan in another poor show from their players. They don't have a good record against the Indians and must punch above their weight to win here. As the Indian juggernaut keeps rolling, the Sri Lankan side must perform extraordinary to win this game.  

India Preview      

Rohit Sharma and his side have been the favorites on betting apps. Each time the side has faced pressure, they have come out triumphant. They knocked the defending champions, England, out of the tournament with a 100-run win in a low-scoring game. The batting line-up is in good form, and bowlers are troubling the opponents. They will look to win here and become the first side to reach the semifinals.  

Rohit Sharma has batted brilliantly in the tournament and played a match-winning knock against England. He will look to deliver a good start in this game with Shubman Gill. Virat Kohli has been at his best and will look to add runs in the middle order with KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer. Suryakumar Yadav played a gem of a knock in the last game and shall look to add runs in the lower middle order with Ravindra Jadeja.  

Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj have troubled the opponents with the new ball, and they will look to do the same in this game. Mohammad Shami has picked up nine wickets in the last two games and will threaten the Lankan batsmen. Kuldeep Yadav and Jadeja will find assistance from the wicket and look to turn the ball and make it tough for the batsmen.     

Expected Starting XI for India     

Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Suryakumar Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Shami  

Sri Lanka Preview     

The Lankans were doomed from the start of the tournament with injuries to key players, and there has been no respite for them. Kusal Mendis, who led the side in the absence of Dasun Shanaka, saw his side going down by seven wickets against Afghanistan. The team's odds are down, and the road to the semifinal looks tough. They have defeated India once in the last ten games, and Mendis will expect an exceptional effort from his players to win here.      
 
Pathum Nissanka has done well in this tournament and must take on the Indian new ball attack with Dimuth Karunaratne. Kusal Mendis must lead from the front and add runs in the middle order with Sadeera Samarawickrama and Charith Asalanka. They will need quick runs from Dhananjaya de Silva, Angelo Matthews, and Dushmantha Chameera to reach a big score against the strong Indian bowling attack.  

The bowling attack hasn't troubled the opponents and let the side down in the tournament. Dilshan Madushanka and Kasun Rajitha must do well with the new ball, as the Indian side will take them on. Chameera and Mathews must use their experience and bowl well in the middle overs. The side will also expect good spells from Maheesh Theekshana and de Silva for them to have a chance in this game.  

Expected Starting XI for Sri Lanka     

Kusal Mendis (c & wk), Pathum Nissanka, Dimuth Karunaratne, Sadeera Samarawickrama, Charith Asalanka, Dhananjaya de Silva, Angelo Mathews, Maheesh Theekshana, Kasun Rajitha, Dushmantha Chameera, Dilshan Madushanka 

TOSS: To Bat First      

Two games at this venue have seen big wins for the side batting first. The wicket has been good to bat on in the first innings and slowed down in the second half. We have seen a lot of turn in the second innings. The side winning the toss won't hesitate to bat first in this game.  

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS      

The skies over Mumbai will be clear, and like the previous games, we expect this one to be high-scoring. There isn't much for the bowlers on this surface, and the batsmen would have an easy outing. The side batting first in this game would target a score of 320 runs or more.   

OUR PREDICTION      

Sri Lankans have struggled with the ball throughout the tournament, and injuries to key players have derailed the prospects for the side. They must overcome the poor record against India and deliver a killer punch to win this game. Indians have all bases covered with an in-form top order and a solid fast-bowling attack. According to our ICC Cricket Betting Guide, the Indians have the edge.  

Our Prediction is for India to win.
