India vs Sri Lanka, Live Cricket Score: Toss at 1:30pm IST
India vs Sri Lanka, Live Cricket Score, Cricket World Cup 2023 Live Updates: Rohit Sharma's back home in Mumbai with his Indian team and returns to the familiar Wankhede Stadium this afternoon for the teams' seventh match of the ongoing ICC World Cup 2023.
The opponents are Sri Lanka, and on the agenda is booking a place in the semis with a victory tonight.
Currently placed second in the World Cup 2023 points table with 12 points, behind South Africa only on net run rate, two points from the game tonight will make India the first team to get to 14 points in the tournament, which will be enough to seal a berth in the semis.
Each team is playing nine league stage matches following which the top four move into the semis.
Sri Lanka too have a very outside chance of making it to the last four stage -- their best opportunity is to win all three of their remaining matches and hope that New Zealand, Australia or other teams can finish on 10 points. They also have to improve their Net Run Rate majorly to improve their chances of making it to the semifinals.
India vs Sri Lanka, Live Cricket Score: Head to Head Record

At the Wankhede Stadium, India have won 11 out of the 20 ODIs they have played so far, losing nine. Of their 11 wins, only three have come batting first. Sri Lanka have won two and lost one match at the Wankhede. But that one defeat has been a significant one as it was final of the 2011 World Cup that India won to lift the World Cup for the second time.
India vs Sri Lanka, Live Cricket Score: Hardik Remains Out
Hardik Pandya has stayed out of action after injuring his ankle during the match against Bangladesh on 19 October and on the eve of the Sri Lanka game, Rohit Sharma could not offer much clarity on his date of return.

He will not be playing tomorrow's match, but beyond that, I can't say anything now. His injury is such that it needs daily monitoring. As of now, the reports have been very positive and encouraging," Rohit Sharma said in the pre-match press conference.
India vs Sri Lanka, Live Cricket Score: Another Setback for Australian Team
Two days before their big match against England on Saturday, the Aussie team's taken another big hit with all-rounder Mitch Marsh returning home to Perth earlier today.
