New Delhi: India will face Sri Lanka in the third and final T20I at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Pallekele on Tuesday. After clinching the three-match series 2-0 in the previous encounter, India will look to sweep the series, continuing the winning momentum and registering three wins on the trot. Sri Lanka can only look for a consolation win as both nations play the T20I dead rubber.
It is notably the first assignment of new Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir who is combining with the new T20I skipper Suryakumar Yadav. The duo have turned out to be working well, registering two back-to-back wins. India won the first match by 43 runs, restricting the cruising Lankans well before the target which once looked quite chaseable with the top-order stomping.
In the second T20I, India opted to bowl first as Sri Lanka posted 161/9 in 20 overs on the back of their top-order as Kusal Perera top-scored with 53 runs. A few other valuable contributions took the team to a reputable total. However, rain played spoilsport in the second innings of the game when India were batting and it continued to downpour heavily. The game had to be reduced and India were given a revised target of 78 runs. Yashasvi Jaiswal’s 30, SKY’s 26, and Hardik Pandya’s unbeaten 22 assured India a seven-wicket victory (DLS) method) in a mere 6.3 overs with the scoreboard at 81/3.
