NEW DELHI: Sri Lanka's probabilities of attaining the final of the 2018 Nidahas Trophy have taken a hit following a wonder loss to Bangladesh over the weekend, adopted via a two-game suspension for skipper Dinesh Chandimal because of a deficient over-rate. This way that each one 3 teams are level on two issues, but it is going to be India - brimming with confidence after hammering Bangladesh - that may have a spring in their step once they meet the deflated house staff in Colombo on Monday for sport four of the match.

Sri Lanka
With Chandimal suspended, Dhananjaya de Silva will have to get a look-in. Coming off a defeat to Bangladesh, during which their bowlers failed to shield 214, Sri Lanka have to deal with the bowling. Two expensive and wicketless outings may just see Akila Dhananjaya benched for Amila Aponso.
Probable XI: 1 Danusha Gunathilaka, 2 Kusal Mendis, 3 Kusal Perera, 4 Dhananjaya de Silva, 5 Upul Tharanga, 6 Dasun Shankaka, 7 Thisara Perera (capt), eight Jeevan Mendis, 9 Amila Aponso, Dushmantha Chameera, 11 Nuwan Pradeep
India
The visiting staff was unchanged within the remaining sport, despite losing to Sri Lanka, but one trade could be inevitable. Rishabh Pant has rankings of 23 and seven without as soon as looking dangerous, and his place could be taken via KL Rahul or Deepak Hooda.
Probable XI: 1 Rohit Sharma (capt), 2 Shikhar Dhawan, 3 Suresh Raina, 4 Rishabh Pant/KL Rahul/Deepak Hooda, 5 Manish Pandey, 6 Dinesh Karthik (wk), 7 Vijay Shankar, eight Washington Sundar, 9 Shardul Thakur, 10 Jaydev Unadkat, 11 Yuzvendra Chahal
