Both teams advanced directly to the semi-finals after rain washed out their respective quarter-finals. As the higher-seeded teams, India and Sri Lanka progressed automatically. If rain forces this semi-final to be abandoned, India will advance to the gold medal match because of their higher seeding.
India have won their last seven matches. Shreyas Iyer’s side recovered from series defeats against Ireland and England with 3-0 wins over Zimbabwe and Afghanistan before beating Japan in the Asian Games.
Arshdeep Singh and Jasprit Bumrah will lead the pace attack, with Washington Sundar and Ravi Bishnoi providing spin options. Arshdeep has taken 30 wickets in his last 22 T20Is, while Bumrah has claimed 22 wickets in his last 15 matches at an economy rate of 7.22.
Niroshan Dickwella is the most experienced batter in the squad, with 28 T20I appearances and 480 runs at a strike rate of 131. Sineth Jayawardena is another player to watch after scoring 686 runs in 25 domestic T20s at a strike rate of 150.
India have also won their last five T20Is against Sri Lanka. The last two meetings went to Super Overs, with India winning the most recent contest after Arshdeep Singh took two wickets while conceding only two runs.
