The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has confirmed a slight change in the fixture of the upcoming dwelling ODI sequence in opposition to the Sri Lanka National Cricket Workforce.
Forward of the 2027 ODI World Cup, the India National Cricket Workforce is about to host Sri Lanka for a white-ball sequence. The six-match sequence contains three ODIs followed by three T20Is. The bilateral sequence is about to start out on December 13.
Visakhapatnam will host the India vs Sri Lanka 1st ODI
Based on the previous schedule, Delhi was selected as the venue to host the primary match of the sequence. On November 5, BCCI, by an official press launch, knowledgeable that the match can be performed at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam instead of in Delhi.
As per the official launch, because of the potential weather disruption and the proposed renovation work at the stadium, the board determined to shift the opening match of the upcoming sequence from Delhi to Visakhapatnam.
The India vs Sri Lanka sequence will start with a 3-match ODI sequence, and then, after the conclusion of the sequence, there can be a three-match T20I contest. Six matches can be arranged across Visakhapatnam, Bengaluru, Ahmedabad, Rajkot, Cuttack, and Pune.
Fresh fixtures after the change in the venue:
1. Sunday (December 13, 2026) 2:00 PM, 1st ODI, Visakhapatnam
2. Wednesday (December 16, 2026) 2:00 PM, 2nd ODI, Bengaluru
3. Saturday (December 19, 2026) 2:00 PM, third ODI, Ahmedabad
4. Tuesday (December 22, 2026) 7:00 PM, 1st T20I, Rajkot
5. Thursday (December 24, 2026) 7:00 PM, 2nd T20I, Cuttack
6. Sunday (December 27, 2026) 7:00 PM, third T20I, Pune
Important ODI sequence forward of the 2027 ODI World Cup
Will probably be a returning sequence for both of the teams, as they’ve confronted one another for a brief Test match earlier this 12 months. For the two-match Test sequence, the Shubman Gill-led side toured Sri Lanka and returned with a 1-0 scoreline. The touring side won the primary Test by a 165-run margin, but the hosts bounced back in the next match and ended the second match in a draw.
The upcoming sequence which can be from December 13 to December 27, can be extremely priceless for both of the teams due to the ODI sequence. The three One Day Internationals will provide the teams a great stage to check their teams in opposition to the top-class batters and bowlers. Because the 2027 ODI World Cup can be collectively hosted by South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia, bowlers are expected to take vital roles all through the match.
India defeated New Zealand with ease in Auckland
The Shubman Gill-led side is currently in New Zealand for the 5-match ODI sequence. They began off the ODI sequence, defeating the house team by 5 wickets in a low-scoring match in Auckland.
Earlier than returning dwelling, they are going to attempt to clinch the sequence to keep their confidence and morale high for the next matches sooner or later. For sure, defeating New Zealand in New Zealand is not going to be a straightforward activity for the Indian cricket team.
