India vs Sri Lanka head to head stats and records ODI 2023
India vs Sri Lanka head to head have established themselves as the giants of Asian cricket since the turn of the century. Although both countries won their first World Cup in the 20th century, India and Sri Lanka truly began to make their presence felt in the early parts of 2000.
Sri Lanka are no longer the force they once were, however, some of their recent performances have kept their fans hoping for better times in the future. Gone are the glory days of Mahela Jayawardene, Kumar Sangakkara, Muttiah Muralitharan and others, the country is in search of new heroes who can take the team forward.
India historically has dominated the head-to-head battle between both sides. There have been many close encounters between the teams since the turn of the century, where they met a lot of times in bilateral tours. However, Sri Lanka will be a little dizzy with the recent memory of facing the Indian side, where Mohammed Siraj rattled Sri Lanka and made the Asian Cup final a one-sided affair. India are now closing in towards 100 wins against Sri Lanka in ODIs.

India vs Sri Lanka head to head will challenge each other at the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 in Mumbai on November 3. In the ongoing World Cup, India are one step away from entering the semi-finals, but it seems like Sri Lanka will have to walk a long way and beat nearly every one of their opponents to reach the semi-finals.
In the ICC World Cup 2023, India are on top of the table with six wins in six matches, while Sri Lanka are tattering in the second half of the table with two wins in four matches. Another defeat could potentially end Sri Lanka’s hopes of winning their second World Cup title, but they have shown great spirit in recent times and one cannot write them off so easily.

In recent times, India and Sri Lanka have been far too one-sided contests. Both teams played some incredible competitive cricket from 2000 to 2015, where they even met in a World Cup final in 2011, famously won by India in Mumbai. However, there has been far too little happening in favor of the Islanders, which may put them on the backfoot when these teams face each other in Mumbai.
In 2023, India and Sri Lanka have met five times – three in a bilateral series, and two in the recently concluded Asia Cup. India won all five of these matches and since December 2017, Sri Lanka have only defeated the Men in Blue on two occasions in ODIs.

India vs Sri Lanka: What happened in the last meeting?
The last encounter between India and Sri Lanka happened in the Asia Cup final, which turned out to be a very one-sided affair. The Indian contingent were on a roll, courtesy of a breathtaking new ball spell from Mohammed Siraj, which dismantled Sri Lanka on their soil and India won the Asia Cup by 10 wickets.
Sri Lanka batted first and Jasprit Bumrah wasted no time in starting the party, dismissing Kusal Perera in his first over. Mohammed Siraj then began to explode, picking up four wickets in the fourth over of the innings, reducing Sri Lanka to 12/5. A late effort from Dushan Hemantha took Sri Lanka to 50 runs before getting bowled out, as Siraj returned with figures of 6/21.
This was Sri Lanka’s second lowest total in ODIs and it was the lowest total anyone registered against India in this format. Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill walked out to complete the 51-run target and they did so in only 6.1 overs. Siraj was adjudged man of the match for his outstanding spell.
