India have had a busy year. An incredibly hard fought series against England set them up to tackle other opponents in equal fashion. With an unlikely loss against New Zealand in a one off test, India will look to their star studded line up to beat Sri Lanka and they are more than capable.

Sri Lankas last match was a ODI against India, in which they secured victory. Playing T20 is entirely a whole different game and this will undoubtedly prove to be another tough test for them.
