T20Is

India and Sri Lanka will play three T20Is and three ODIs against each other beginning July 27. This series is crucial for both teams as both aim to solidify their positions within the top eight in world cricket – India could gain momentum heading into 2023 Asia Cup preparations while losing could prove costly for Sri Lanka – they have both enjoyed dominating results against each other thus far, so expect India to continue this dominance into T20Is as well.

India started their three-match T20I series off right by winning in Pallekele by 43 runs in the first T20I. Yashasvi Jaiswal scored an outstanding 30 off 15 balls while Suryakumar Yadav, in his new role as captain, notched up half century with 213/7 total that the hosts couldn’t chase down. At Pallekele in match 2, India cruised to an easy seven wicket win to seal this series 2-0.

Sri Lanka captain Charith Asalanka won the toss and elected to bat first, though they struggled in the Powerplay, slumping to 30/4 after three overs had passed. Gill and Parag combined for an important fifty partnership that saw Sri Lanka reach 137 – a competitive total on such an amenable batting surface.

Sri Lanka’s batting woes deepened following the injuries to Wanindu Hasaranga and Binura Fernando, with all-rounder Ramesh Mendis being called up as replacement. India are currently without Jasprit Bumrah due to the back injury he picked up against Australia during their Test series and thus must rely on some of their rookie players for cover.

Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Axar Patel will play integral roles in this series against Sri Lanka. Team India hopes to continue their dominance against their opponent and expects to take all three matches from this series with ease after an emphatic win against South Africa in the final of Twenty20 tri-series tournament.

ODIs

India will look to carry their T20 dominance into ODIs. Starting August 8 at R Premadasa International Cricket Stadium in Colombo, they will play four one-day internationals under Rohit Sharma’s leadership; hoping for another series win.

Sri Lanka will face off against an impressive India side featuring many newcomers for an ODI series that should prove highly competitive and serve as an important preparation step towards World Cup 2018.

India captain Rohit Sharma will attempt to lead his side back up the ICC rankings following their recent slump, yet will face an uphill struggle as Sri Lanka are an formidable opponent when it comes to one day internationals (ODI).

Sri Lanka made a commanding start to their innings after winning the toss and opting to bat, thanks to Avishka Fernando’s outstanding 96 off 102 balls in helping Sri Lanka reach 249-8 by powerplay’s end. Left-arm spinner Dunith Wellalage then dismantled Indian’s batting lineup to finish with 5-27 wickets.

Rohit scored an unbeaten 58 off 47 balls but his teammates struggled on an unpredictable pitch with variable degrees of turn. Rohit shared an 89-run stand with Pathum Nissanka who played aggressively and hit two slog swept sixes off Axar Patel before losing his wicket in the penultimate over and leaving India in difficulty.

Sri Lanka didn’t let losing their captain affect them during the middle overs, with Kusal Perera and Kamindu Mendis forging an unbroken 82-run partnership that helped guide the hosts towards victory, posting 278-6 in 50 overs.

No matter its low scoring nature, this match was nonetheless entertaining, featuring numerous twists and turns. It marked 44 ties in ODI history between India and Sri Lanka; Sri Lanka became the first side to win three-match ODI series against India since 1997.

Tests

These two teams have faced off 46 times in Test matches; India have won 22 and Sri Lanka 7, with 17 ending up as draws and some major victories taking place for both. Both sides can boast several memorable triumphs against one another on big stages.

Sri Lanka struggled against Indian bowlers at Kanpur but were unable to score enough runs, due to poor weather. Sunil Gavaskar made 176 and Mohammad Azharuddin added 199 respectively for an initial total of 676/7 in the first innings; by contrast, Sri Lanka only managed a handful of runs which did not surpass India’s score and led to an end result which ended as a draw.

In Nagpur, India was victorious over Sri Lanka to record their maiden Test win ever. Maninder Singh led his Indian spinners brilliantly in counteracting Sri Lankan batting lines – taking seven wickets with slow left-arm orthodox spin – surpassing Richard Hadlee, Rangana Herath and Kapil Dev’s wicket total in international Test matches.

Dimuth Karunaratne and Lahiru Thirimanne continued their strong performance for Sri Lanka on Day 4, posting an unbroken partnership of 97 runs before Lahiru Thirimanne was caught behind for 75 by Ravindra Jadeja and caught behind himself for 75 by Angelo Mathews and Dinesh Chandimal but were unsuccessful in doing so.

Dinesh Chandimal of Sri Lanka believes his team have learned some invaluable lessons despite their meek surrender and are confident of better performances in future. He attributes their progress to their management and batting coaches for helping players through difficult periods, with special mention to Rangana Herath and Angelo Mathews for their contributions; also acknowledging young batsmen like Roshen Silva, Niroshan Dickwella and Dhananjaya de Silva for helping the team during this series.

Schedule

Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli has an exciting 2025 schedule lined up, which includes a series against Sri Lanka. This series provides the men in blue an excellent opportunity to build upon their success at the 2024 World Cup and regional championships, along with playing T20I matches against associate members that will give them valuable experience ahead of their next major competition.

India will then host Sri Lanka for an ODI and T20I series that promises to provide both teams with a platform for emerging talent.

Sri Lanka boasts an experienced squad, including Charith Asalanka and Avishka Fernando; along with younger talents like Kusal Perera and Wanindu Hasaranga who should take to the pitch as part of this crucial series.

India will travel to Australia for a six-match white-ball series consisting of ODIs and T20Is, giving their men the perfect chance to hone their skills on fast pitches with intense crowd atmospheres in preparation for future global tournaments like ICC T20 World Cup 2016. This tournament provides India an ideal platform to prepare themselves ahead of future global competitions such as this tournament will allow.

Following this postponement of their white-ball series against Bangladesh, India will enjoy a welcome respite before heading into the ICC Asia Cup. It gives their players time to recover after such a long season; without postponing this event it would have been more challenging.

Final series of 2024 for India against South Africa in home conditions features four Test matches at home. Indian cricket hopes to build on its impressive performances of 2023 by dominating continental cricket – both teams reached the ODI World Cup final and beat England and Australia respectively during 2023; their momentum should carry forward to 2024.

2025’s international cricket calendar features a combination of International Cricket Council tournaments and bilateral series between full member nations, with T20I matches between men’s and women’s teams representing associate nations also taking place on this year’s schedule.
