India vs Srilanka test match match preview

Tomorrow the test series between India and Sri Lanka will start and the 1st test will be a very momentous occasion for India as the former captain Virat Kohli plays his hundredth test match. This series is also the start of a new era in test cricket for India as Rohit Sharma will captain India in test cricket for the first time.

India will be looking to start off on a good note under the leadership of Rohit in test cricket and also they will hope Virat Kohli will return to form and make the celebration of his hundredth test even more enjoyable.

Sri Lanka will be looking to continue their good form in the test having beaten West Indies but they will know it won't be easy to beat India in India and also this Indian side that has been dominant for a while.

I think both teams will go with their strengths considering the conditions will be familiar to both teams.

India predicted XI: 1. Rohit Sharma(c), 2 Mayank Agarwal, 3. Shreyas Iyer, 4. Virat Kohli, 5. Hanuma Vihari, 6. Rishab Pant(wk), 7. Ravindra Jadeja, 8. R. Ashwin, 9. Mohammed Shami, 10. Jasprit Bumrah, 11. Mohammed Siraj/Kuldeep Yadav

Sri Lanka Predicted XI : 1.D Karunaratne(c) , 2. L. Thirimanne, 3. D. Chamdimal, 4. A. Mathews, 5. D de Silva, 6. P Nissanka, 7. N. Dickwella (wk), 8. S. Lakmal, 9. L. Embuldeniya, 10. P. Jayawaickrama, 11. V Fernando

Proteas vs England 3rd ODI

The ODI series between Proteas and England ended with a 2-1 win for the Proteas. The series has been competitive and entertaining. Proteas won the toss and chose to bowl. They started off well but then Buttler and Malan put together a partnership of 232 off 211. This partnership brought England right back into the match as they recovered from 14 for 3 to post 346-7 in their 50 overs. In reply, the Proteas were always ahead of the scoring rate, the only problem was they lost wickets at regular intervals, which is why they ended up being bowled out for 287. Archer was the star picking up 6-40 of 9.1 overs. England won the match by 59 runs. The Proteas can take a lot of positives from this series as they have given themselves a good chance to gain the last direct qualification spot. Writer : Ebrahim Yusuf Omar
