There were some impressive backs-to-the-wall performances in India’s 59-run win against Sri Lanka in Guwahati on Tuesday to kickstart their World Cup campaign. But the end result shouldn’t paper over some of the cracks that appeared at the ACA Stadium, as Sri Lanka had sufficient opportunities to pull off a gatecrashing upset. Sample the match on Tuesday against Sri Lanka, just one of the incidences of this trend. Sri Lanka were able to keep the two right-handers quiet just by bowling stump-to-stump and cutting the angles superbly inside the ring with their ground-fielding. That, however, means India might also have to sacrifice their batting depth, which actually saved them against Sri Lanka.
