Will India Open the Nidahas Trophy With a Victory Against Sri Lanka on March 6th?

2018 Hero-Nidahas Trophy is being organized to commemorate 70 years of Sri Lankan independence but despite its festive nature, the tournament carries high expectations from fans across the globe, especially when they would switch their screens on to watch India vs Sri Lanka 1st T20 live.

Virat Kohli captained Indian team had recently dominated a strong South African side away from home by producing an impressive performance in batting and bowling field. They are being hailed as strong contender to win this tournament.

However, former India batsman turned television analyst Sanjay Manjrekar had warned the Indian side against underestimating their opponents. He believed that despite domestic troubles, Sri Lankan team can very well spring a carefully planned trap to trouble opponents. Angelo Mathew captained Sri Lankan team comfortably swept away a test and T20 series last month from Bangladeshi side. This impressive performance earned them commendable praises from many fans who think of them as a strong contender too for this trophy.

But, Indian team is no stranger to facing a strong side on the other end. Their depth in bowling attack led by R. Ashwinis well equipped to handle the Sri Lankan batting order led by players like Perera, Mendis, and Silva. Ever since Kohli took reigns of captaincy from Mahendra Singh Dhoni, he has proven himself to be a quite capable strategist. Beside being a good captain on the field, he has impressed everyone with his tremendous batting skills by scoring continuously against even a strong bowling attack.

Former India all rounder Mohinder Amarnath, however, had expressed his worry over India’s middle order who, according to him, form a brittle and perhaps a weaker link in this side. But, he is convinced that the present Indian side is playing their best cricket right now and can perform to the highest expectation in crucial matches.

So, Indian fans, when they start watching IND vs SL 1st T20 live streaming, need not to worry. With a strong batting side and versatile bowling attack they might just get an easy victory over their opponents.

The support from the fans and the used pitch of their home ground is an added advantage for them to win the games held at their home side.
