India suffered a deflating 58-run defeat against New Zealand in their opening encounter of the tournament. However, they managed to pull themselves back up and registered a six-wicket win against Pakistan as they chased down a 106-run target in 18.5 overs. India can ill-afford a slip-up against Sri Lanka as they are walking on a tightrope like a trapezist.
Meanwhile, Sri Lanka is languishing at the bottom of Group A after suffering crushing defeats to Pakistan by 31 runs and Australia by six wickets. They would want to get off the mark with a win against their neighbors. While qualification seems difficult at this point, Chamari Athapaththu and Co. Would want to give a good account of themselves in the marquee event.
