The Story in Brief
Sri Lanka XI chose to bat after winning the toss against India in the three-day warm-up match at Colombo’s Nondescripts Cricket Club Ground, NDTV Profit reports. The match is being played on Day 1.
Ravindu Rasantha and Nishan Madushka have given Sri Lanka XI a steady start, according to NDTV Sports. Its live reports also say Indian bowlers have struggled early. India made forced changes to its playing XI, though the reports do not specify the replacements. The available updates provide no score or details of the match’s likely impact on selection decisions.
The Indian Opinion
A strong opening partnership is useful preparation, but it does not prove that India’s attack is failing or that Sri Lanka XI controls the match. Claims that a warm-up result will define India’s plans would be just as exaggerated. The proper measure is the first-innings total and India’s response with the bat.
