IND vs SL: India have never lost ODI series at home to Sri Lanka, India team will go for 10th win

IND vs. SL: The three match ODI series between India and Sri Lanka has started. The India team won the first match of the series played in Guwahati by 67 runs and took a 1-0 lead. Now, on Thursday, January 12, in the match to be held at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, the India team will enter with the intention of capturing the series. Earlier in the T20 series, the Indian team had defeated the visiting team 2-1 under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya. If we talk about some past statistics, the Sri Lankan team has never won a two-way India ODI series on Indian soil.

Sri Lanka have played a total of 10 bilateral ODI series in India previously and today the team has not won a single one. At the same time, Team India has won the series on 9 out of 10 occasions and the series has been drawn once. That is, in the current series, the team led by Rohit Sharma would be looking for its tenth victory in the series. Sri Lanka, on the other hand, is still waiting for their first victory in India. Sri Lanka first played a two-way ODI series in India in 1986/87. In that series, Team India won 4-1. In the last ODI series held in 2014-15, India thrashed Sri Lanka 5-0.

Team India’s performance in the last 5 ODI series

3. Home series with South Africa: India team won 2-1

How is the India-Sri Lanka head to head record in ODI?

Let us tell you that Sri Lanka have played a total of 52 matches against the India team in India so far. Outside of this, the Sri Lankan team has won only 12 times and, although they have tasted defeat more than three times, 37 times. At the same time, three games have been inconclusive between the two teams. You have already seen the figures of the series above. For 37 years, the Sri Lankan team hopes to win the ODI series in India. It remains to be seen if the current team led by Dasun Shanaka can win the series for the first time on Indian soil or they will face disappointment like in T20.
