India are all set to lock horns with the Sri Lankan team in the 33rd match of the ongoing World Cup slated to be played at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday, November 2. India seem firm favourite to win the contest as they are going through a purple patch in the marquee tournament.
The Men in Blue's juggernaut has steamrolled six opponents already and doesn't look like stopping anytime soon. This will be the first meeting between the two Asian giants following India's convincing 10-wicket win over the 1996 World Cup winners in the summit clash of the recently concluded Asia Cup.
India have a decent ODI record at the Wankhede Stadium. The two-time ODI World Cup champions have won 11 out of the 20 matches that they have played at the venue and lost nine fixtures. The last time the Indian team played an ODI on the ground was back in March against Australia and the Rohit Sharma-led side had defeated the Aussies by five wickets.
