But, you never know in cricket, and Sri Lanka is not a weak team either. They too have some influential players who hold the ability to change the course of the game at any point of time. So, it will be a nail-biting game for sure. But if we have to choose the one team, then India will have a slight edge over Sri Lanka to win the trophy.
