India will lock horns with Sri Lanka in the ongoing World Cup tomorrow in Mumbai. The Men in Blue are on red-hot form as they are on a six-match winning streak in the World Cup winning all six matches. India are the only unbeaten team in the World Cup and have yet again shown why they were labeled as pre-tournament favorites.
Meanwhile, Sri Lanka are coming off a thrashing loss against Afghanistan. They will need to beat the in-form Indians if they have to stand a chance of reaching the semis.

The Lankans have not got any sort of momentum in the World Cup so far. They beat defending champions England but lost all the momentum by losing to Afghanistan. Worst, the Island nation have also been plagued by injuries to a few of their key players. With three matches yet to be played, Lankans will be hoping to start performing to their full potential.
On the other hand, India have ticked quite a few boxes in the World Cup. They also batted first against England and posted a decent 230 on a sluggish Lucknow wicket. Shami has so far been a revelation, picking up nine wickets in just two games. Hardik Pandya will miss the clash against Sri Lanka, and Shami is set to play tomorrow as well.
