Japan vs India prediction
A wonderful opportunity to grow the game of cricket in Japan sees India visit Sano ahead of the Asian Games for a one-off T20i against the Japanese cricket team. The two are obviously mis-matched in terms of cricketing ability but India having never played in Sano before at least gives Japan a small chance as it may take the Indians time to adapt to their surroundings.
It’s hard to predict what team India will field for this game, but one player who will surely feature is captain Shreyas Iyer. He’d no doubt love to get some runs ahead of the Asian Games and on what is a small ground and a pitch likely to be ideal for hitting, backing Iyer to register a healthy individual score in an India victory looks a smart play.
Japan vs India tip: India to win and Shreyas Iyer to score over 23.5 match runs
