India Masters vs Sri Lanka Masters Prediction & Betting Tips 2025

With cricketing legend Sachin Tendulkar leading India Masters, he is expected to anchor the innings and bring a strong batting presence to the side. Opening alongside him will likely be the elegant left-hander Suresh Raina, forming a strong foundation for the hosts. Yuvraj Singh remains a formidable presence with the bat. Known for dismantling top-tier bowling attacks. On the bowling front, Stuart Binny could be a key asset if there’s any swing on offer.

Sri Lanka Masters benefit from having a captain who remains in good shape. Kumar Sangakkara, known for his elegant stroke play, is expected to open the innings and will wear the gloves while fielding, likely partnering with Upul Tharanga at the top of the order.

Asela Gunaratne, Romesh Kaluwitharana and Nuwan Pradeep will deepen the batting order and contribute crucial runs down the order if needed in this tournament opener. Isuru Udana, a prominent bowling figure from the side, will look to generate movement both off the pitch and through the air.
