India dominates over Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka and India faced each other for the first time in a test on 17 September 1982 and Sri Lanka played their first test match against England on 17 February 1982. As of now (including these two test matches)Lanka has played a total of 299 test matches out of which they won 93 tests, lost 115 and 91 drawn. Against India, they have played 46 test matches, won 7 matches, lost 22, and 17 tests have been drawn.

India has a better winning percentage than Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka for the first time won the overseas Test series against New Zealand in 1967 and the last time they achieved victory was in 2019 against Australia. Considering the numbers in the test record of both the teams against each other, then India is a stronger side and have dominated Sri Lanka more times.

In ICC Test team ranking, India is standing at the top 2 positions and Sri Lanka is at the number 8 position. This shows that India has more winning chances in terms of numbers but the test series trophy will go in hands of those who perform best, cricketwa.com reported.
