IND vs SL 1st ODI match preview & prediction: India vs Sri Lanka predicted lineups, date, time, live streaming

IND vs SL 1st ODI match preview & prediction: India will be led by full-time skipper and opener Rohit Sharma, who will be joined in the first XI by Virat Kohli, who will replace Ishan Kishan and Rahul Tripathi. KL Rahul will be called up as well and could play in the middle/lower middle order. Mohammed Shami and Siraj could play in the first ODI against Sri Lanka at the Baraspara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati.

The Sri Lankan team is unlikely to change much, with the batting lineup largely unchanged from the previous T20I in Rajkot on Saturday. Dilshan Madushanka, its best bowler (in terms of wickets taken) in the T20I series may have to wait a little longer for his ODI debut, with Jeffrey Vandersay taking his place, andLahiru Kumar possibly playing for Chamika Karunaratne.
