The cricket history of India and Sri Lanka is many years old. The first ODI series between these two countries was played in the year 1982. Then Team India defeated Sri Lanka 3-0. A 3 match ODI series is going to start between these two countries on 2 August, which will be the 21st ODI series played between the two teams. The Indian team has always dominated Sri Lanka, due to which the Sri Lankan team has not been able to do anything special against the Indian team for many years.

When Sri Lanka did this last time against India

Out of the 20 ODI series played so far, Team India has won 15 times.

On the other hand, Sri Lanka has been able to beat India in ODI series only twice. On the other hand, 3 series have ended in a draw. But the last time Sri Lanka defeated Team India in an ODI series was in 1997. That means Sri Lanka has not won any ODI series against Team India for the last 27 years. The surprising thing is that at the time of Sri Lanka's last ODI series win over Team India, Shubman Gill was not even born and star players like Rohit Sharma-Virat Kohli used to study in school.

Team India dominates Sri Lanka

So far 168 ODI matches have been played between India and Sri Lanka.

During this time, Team India has defeated Sri Lanka in 99 matches. On the other hand, the Sri Lankan team has won only 57 matches and 1 match ended in a draw. 11 matches have also been cancelled. On the other hand, Team India has played 66 ODI matches in Sri Lanka's home, out of which it has managed to win 32 matches and has faced defeat in 28 matches. Apart from this, 6 matches have been cancelled.

Close to completing a century of wins

Team India now needs just 1 win to win 100 ODIs against Sri Lanka. Let us tell you, the Indian team has not defeated any team in 100 ODIs yet, so it is close to a historic feat.

Team India will be eyeing to make this record in its name by winning the first match of this series. The first match of the series between the two teams will be played at R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo from 2:30 pm.
