So far. Team India is the most successful team in the ICC World Cup 2023. They have played six matches and have won all six games till now. Today, Rohit Sharma-led side will clash with the Lankan Lions at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium. The coin for the toss will be flipped around 1.30 pm and the match will commence at 2 pm.
Team India has hardly taken any wrong steps under Rohit Sharma's captaincy and it has resulted in six wins in a row. The team will definitely look forward to continuing the momentum. Sharma, who will be facing Sri Lanka today in his hometown, is very familiar with Wankhede Stadium. The 'Hitman's highest ODI score of 264 runs is against Sri Lanka. Spectators will have an eye on the Indian skipper to deliver another stunning performance today
India's 'Run Machine' Virat Kohli has 48 ODI centuries under his belt so far. He seems to be in great touch in white ball cricket. In the ICC World Cup 2023, Kohli has consistently delivered performances. If he scores a ton today, then the Delhi lad will level the record of 'Master Blaster' Sachin Tendulkar of highest ODI centuries in the history of the game
India's star all-rounder Hardik Pandya is doubtful to play in the clash against the Lankan Lions. Mohammed Shami who has been included in the Playing XI as the replacement for Pandya has been bowling exceptionally well
