SL vs IND Head to Head Records in T20Is | Sri Lanka vs India T20I Stats | Colombo T20I

SL vs IND Head to Head Records: The SportsRush presents for you the Head to Head statistics for the first SL vs IND T20I.

After a mere one-day gap, Sri Lanka and India will start playing a three-match series in the shortest format of the game at the R Premdasa Stadium from tomorrow.

Sri Lanka, who continued to improve as the ODI series progressed, eventually defeated India by 3 wickets last night to grab ICC Men’s World Series points despite losing the series 0-3. Scheduled to play in the qualifying Round 1 of the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 in similar conditions, Sri Lanka won’t get a better than India to prepare for the world event.

The last time when Sri Lanka and India had locked horns in a T20I was at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune last year. A 78-run Indian victory had powered them to a 2-0 series victory.

India fast bowler Navdeep Saini, who had won the ‘Man of the Series’ award for being the joint-highest wicket-taker, would be hoping to not just get opportunities but also make full use of them in times of cut-throat competition for a spot in the Playing XI.
