Sri Lanka has faced another injury setback, with Lahiru Kumara being the latest to be sidelined. While Dushmantha Chameera and Dimuth Karunaratne were introduced in the game against Afghanistan, it resulted in a disappointing loss for the Sri Lankan side. The composition of their lineup against the strong Indian team remains to be seen, and Dunith Wellalage, who performed admirably against India in the Asia Cup, could potentially make a return to the team.
