CHANDIGARH/BHOPAL: Friday’s India-Sri Lanka tie has almost Rs 10,000 crore riding on it, of which Rs 7000 crore worth of bets are from the Asian region.

Punters are rooting for Team India to get into the Super 8. India’s chances amongst bookies increased soon after it won the toss.

The decision to field first changed the going rate to 82/84. If SL wins the rates would be much more. Bookies have predicted SL to score 100 - 110 runs in the first session and 170 - 180 runs in the second.
