India and Sri Lanka will face off in the opening ODI of their three-match series at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on Tuesday, January 10. This will be the first time the two Asian teams will meet in an ODI on Indian soil since December 2017.
Earlier this month, India and Sri Lanka clashed in a three-match T20I series, with the Men in Blue emerging victorious with a 2-1 victory. The BCCI has selected a star-studded squad for the upcoming ODI series against Sri Lanka, with an eye towards the 2023 Cricket World Cup.
India and Sri Lanka will meet for the first time at the Barsapara Stadium, where they were supposed to play in a T20I in 2020 but were forced to postpone it due to rain.
The Barsapara Stadium has only hosted one ODI match, in 2018, when Rohit and Kohli scored hundreds in a run chase against West Indies, however the venue has also hosted three T20Is, the most recent in October 2022.
