Who will win the match?
The venue where both teams played the historic final way back in 2011 and team India like they did in 2011 are oozing with confidence and are unstoppable at the moment.

Pitch and Weather Conditions
The pitch at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai are renowned to be excellent batting tracks and from the outcomes at this venue it is quite evident it is going to a flat deck that favours batsman and another high scoring game is on the cards. Surprisingly the dew factor hasnt had much impact in the evening and has assisted fast bowlers during the first powerplay in the second innings. Fast bowlers get some early movement of the surface in the early stages but as the game progresses the pitch gets worn out, spinners can come into play.
It is going another hot and humid day a Mumbai with the temperature hovering around 37 degrees Celsius to 31 degrees Celsius.

India Preview and Playing XI
It has a dream tournament for the host nation India. They have been phenomenal throughout and in the last game India dominated against England in a low scoring affair led by Rohit Sharma’s magnificent half century (87 runs) and a brilliant bowling performance from Mohammad Shami (4/22), Jasprit Bumrah (3/32) and Kuldeep Yadav (2/24). The inclusion of Mohammad Shami and Suryakumar Yadav has played huge dividends as both players stood up and performed in pressure situations. India will go in with the same playing XI.
India Playing XI: Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammad Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammad Siraj.
Sri Lanka Preview and Playing X1
A dismal start to the tournament and two back to back wins and poor batting & bowling effort against Afghanistan in the last match has put Sri Lanka’s chances of qualification in jeopardy. The injuries to their key players hasnt helped their cause either. The major concern for Sri Lanka has been their inconsistency in building pressure and picking up wickets in key phases of the game. The inclusion of Angelo Matthews has brought some stability in the middle order and he will he player to watch out for against India.
Sri Lanka Playing XI: Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Perera/Dimuth Karunaratne, Kusal Mendis (C & Wk), Sadeera Samarawickrama, Charith Asalanka, Dhananjaya de Silva, Angelo Mathews, Maheesh Theekshana, Kasun Rajitha, Dushmantha Chameera, Dilshan Madushanka.
