Home team India play Sri Lanka in Chennai, with the hosts aiming to continue their unbeaten start to the tournament.

Can anyone best India? Six wins from six, a win here will officially confirm their place in the semi-finals, but the is truth that India reaching the final four was an inevitability from the word go.

Their captain Rohit Sharma is in imperious form, their best bowler Jasprit Bumrah is so much better than everyone else in the world that it’s frightening - and that’s before we even mention the name Virat Kohli.

Sri Lanka, on the other hand, suffered a demoralising defeat to Afghanistan in their last outing, which in effect ended their hopes of reaching the semi-finals.

Two wins and four defeats, they’ll likely need to take their medicine against India, before aiming to finish the group stage with wins against Bangladesh and New Zealand in order to finish in the top eight and qualify for the 2025 Champions Trophy.

India v Sri Lanka key player to watch

Jasprit Bumrah (India)

Bumrah, daylight, the rest. Batters cannot attack him and they cannot defend him either.

India’s tournament hopes would suffer no larger blow than if the right-arm quick were to pull a hamstring in the home stretch, and it wouldn’t be a surprise if, once semi-final qualification is secured, India opt to rest him for a match or two before the next stage of the competition.
