India takes on Sri Lanka in WC 2023. India, still maintaining an unbeaten streak in the ICC World Cup 2023, is poised to face Sri Lanka on November 2 at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. With an impressive 12 points secured from 6 matches, India has emerged as a formidable force in the tournament. Cricket experts and pundits have grappled with finding any chinks in the armor of the current Indian team, as they have consistently excelled in all facets of the game.
In stark contrast, Sri Lanka's journey in the tournament has been marred by struggles. They faced an unexpected defeat at the hands of a team considered smaller, Afghanistan, and have managed to amass only 4 points from 6 games. The road to a semi-final spot for them remains technically open, but it is laden with uncertainties and contingencies. However, one certainty remains – a loss in the upcoming match will lead to their elimination from the competition.
Twelve years after the historic night in April 2011, when India jubilantly celebrated their second World Cup victory with a memorable six-wicket triumph over Sri Lanka, these two teams are set to cross paths once more in a World Cup clash. However, this encounter bears little resemblance to the past.
the previous World Cup final was a titanic battle featuring cricketing giants on every front, the impending match, at least judging by current form, appears to be a one-sided affair. India's unblemished record in the tournament stands in stark contrast to Sri Lanka's struggle, marked by more defeats than victories.
