IND vs SL Dream11 Prediction for Today's Cricket World Cup 2023 Match 33, Playing XI, and Captain and Vice-Captain Picks

India is riding on the amazing form they have been in this World Cup so far as they have won all the six matches they have played so far. But more than that how India has decimated their opponents will worry Sri Lanka who are set to face India on 2nd November in the 33rd match of the ODI World Cup 2023. 

The match will take place at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai which will make things even more worrisome for Sri Lanka as Wankhede is known to favor the batsmen and has a good bounce on the pitch.

When Sri Lanka last faced India at the Wankhede Stadium in a World Cup match, it was the 2011 World Cup and Sri Lanka might now have fond memories of playing at this particular stadium. Sri Lanka is currently facing an injury crisis as most of its bowlers are injured and under the given circumstances facing an in-form Indian team at their home turf will be a tedious challenge to overcome.

IND vs SL ODI WORLD Cup Match

Pitch and Playing Conditions

The Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai has a balanced pitch, with an average first-innings score of 258 runs in the last 20 matches. It is a sporting pitch that offers decent assistance to both batters and bowlers. The team winning the toss will decide whether to bat or bowl depending on the condition.

Pace bowlers have been highly effective at this venue, taking 83% of the wickets. Therefore, pick as many pace bowlers as possible in your team, as the pitch is likely to continue to favour them. The temperature at Wankhede will be expected at around 20 degrees Celsius and the humidity will be around 53%.

Players to Watch Out For

Both the subcontinent teams are well-versed in playing in India and both the teams have some amazing stroke players taking into consideration the kind of wicket Wankhede is, it will be wise to have quality batsmen from both sides in your team.

Rohit Sharma and Kushal Mendis should be a must-pick from both teams as they are amazing stroke players and have been among the runs in the World Cup so far. Virat Kohli is one player whom you cannot afford to have in your team given his pedigree and the form he is in. 

On a true pitch, you should go for pure bowlers instead of all-rounders. Among pacers, you have to Jasprit Bumrah for his sheer pace and accuracy and Mohammad Siraj as his zeal and pace can get him some wickets on this batting wicket. In spinners, unorthodox finger spinners always come in handy.
