India vs Sri Lanka FREE Live Streaming, Cricket World Cup 2023 33rd Match; India set a 358-run target for Sri Lanka: Sri Lanka wins the toss and India to bats first as they will be out to make it 7 out of 7 wins in this World Cup when they take on Sri Lanka in what (some say) will be the replay of the 2011 World Cup Final at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday, November 2. The day will kick off with the unveiling of 'Little Master' Sachin Tendulkar's statue at the Wankhede Stadium, followed by a riveting contest between the bat and the ball. Rohit Sharma's men will not want to allow any complacency to creep in and will treat this as crucial as any other match, but going by the form and the squads on paper — India is far superior at the moment.

Here's how the teams stack up and all the details related to the match—

India's strengths and weaknesses:

The Men in Blue hit the purple patch at just the right time, so much so that even Mohammed Shami—a replacement for injured all-rounder Hardik Pandya—has blown top teams like New Zealand and England and picked nine wickets in the two games he's played so far. The top order, consisting of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Shubman Gill, has fired. KL Rahul has shone in the middle order, and so has Ravindra Jadeja. Bowlers Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, and Kuldeep Yadav have all peaked at the right time. The only name missing from the lineup here — Shreyas Iyer — has failed to capitalise on the opportunities given to him and revealed his soft underbelly to the short ball. The team management might give Ishan Kishan a chance in Mumbai.

Sri Lanka's strengths and weaknesses:

Sri Lanka can't be considered a pushover, but they have been flattened out after their brilliant performance at the World Cup qualifiers. Their lack of prominent players like Wanindu Hasaranga, Dasun Shanaka, Lahiru Kumara, and many others has weakened their bowling department, which the opposition has exploited the most in this campaign.

Their batting, however, has been quite good, with Pathum Nissanka and Sadeera Samarawickrama giving good starts at the top. Captain Kusal Mendis is also in good touch, and with veteran Angelo Mathews in the squad, they have provided some good stability to the Lankan side.Sri Lanka can't be considered pushovers, but they have been flattened out after their brilliant performance at the World Cup qualifiers.
