India vs Sri Lanka: preview 

Despite racking up four defeats, Sri Lanka could still make it to the Cricket World Cup knockouts... if they win all of their remaining games and other results go their way. Unfortunately, the path to perfection begins against hosts India, who have won six out of six and will seal their place in the semi-finals with another victory at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday.

It would be fair to say that Sri Lanka are up against it. They've been on the receiving end of a couple of wallopings over the past few weeks, and unless their bowling miraculously fixes itself overnight, they're realistically almost entirely reliant on Kusal Mendis and Sadeera Samarawickrama putting up big scores with the bat, something they were unable to do in a damaging defeat to Afghanistan earlier this week.

Jasprit Bumrah has understandably been the face of India's fearsome bowling attack throughout the tournament, but the Men in Blue's thrashing of England was undoubtedly the Mohammed Shami show. That underrated right arm removed four men for just 22 runs, and Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav did the rest.

If Sri Lanka were to pull off an upset here, things would become extremely congested at the summit. As well as the hosts, South Africa and New Zealand are also in the running for top spot, to the extent that one slip-up could change everything.
