Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra says the scales are heavily tilted towards India in the 2023 World Cup clash against Sri Lanka
The former cricketer of team India, Aakash Chopra, feels that India are strong favorites heading into their 2023 World Cup league-phase clash against Sri Lanka.
The two subcontinental teams are going to face each other at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday, November 2. The Men in Blue bowled out the Lankan Lions for a paltry 50 and eventually got a 10-wicket win in the finals of the Asia Cup final in September, which was the last time they met each other.
In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Chopra said that India is much superior to Sri Lanka. He said that, "If we do man-to-man marking, check the last few matches, or see any other way, if we talk about ODI cricket, you will find that the scales are heavily tilted towards India. There is no contest at all. There is no parity between the two sides."
He further said that "Sri Lanka is coming after losing the last match to Afghanistan. Sri Lanka was stopped in its tracks. Your hopes increased slightly when you defeated England, but then when you lose to Afghanistan, you come to know that the Colombo tickets have already been booked; only the boarding pass and web check-in are left."
