SL vs IND Dream11: The third and final T20I match between Sri Lanka and India will be played on 29 July at the R.Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. The host Sri Lankan made a wonderful comeback to level the three-match T20I series 1-1 with a brilliant 4-wicket win in the second T20I match against a depleted Indian side. Due to the massive Covid-19 outbreak, India were left with just 11 players in their squad which took the field on Wednesday that included just five specialist batters. However, the visitors fought very hard to take the game deep having lost in the final over. Thus, it promises to be a nail-biting expedition between India and Sri Lanka in this series-decider.
Fixture Name: 3rd T20I, Sri Lanka vs India
Competition: Sri Lanka vs India T20I
Date: 29 July
Time: 8 PM IST
Ground: R.Premadasa Stadium, Colombo
Team Form Guide: SL (recent last): W L L L L IND (recent last): L W W W L
ICC Rankings: SL 9, IND 2
The pitch at the R.Premadasa Stadium will once again be on the slower side in the series decider. There will be enough help for the spinners and the pace bowlers will have to bowl more slower deliveries to be successful. The ball won’t be coming nicely onto the bat but if a batsman is set, he should play a big knock. However, batting first will be a good option on this surface.
