INR vs SLO Pitch Report
The surface at Lotus Sports Club Ground is a decent surface for batting. It also provides a good balance between bat and ball. Spinners can take advantage in the middle overs. Pacers are only effective with the new ball. It is a quality T20 batting surface where batsmen need to play aggressively.
Score prediction:
If India bat first - 130-140 runs
If Sri Lanka bat first - 120-130 runs
Toss: To Bat
In the last five T20s on this surface, chasing sides won three games. Bangladesh even failed to chase 136 odd runs on this surface and India strongly charged in a chase of 168. This surface will give a good balance between bat and ball. Both teams have had earlier success while batting first and they will look to bat first in this fixture as well.
Toss Prediction: Sri Lanka Lions to win the coin toss.
INR vs SLO
Winning Prediction
Indian Royals enter this contest as the favourites to win this match. They are a superior T20 side than Sri Lanka and also have quality international players.
