SL Playing 11: With series poised at 1-1, Sri Lanka will face India in the final T20I here at R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo. Despite winning the last match, Sri Lanka looked scratchy and were stretched to their limit by this depleted Indian side. Chasing a modest target of 133, SL batters looked down and out at one point until Dhananjaya de Silva’s calm head took them home. Winning the series will mean a lot to this team which hasn’t won much in their recent times. In the head-to-head record in T20Is, India leads Sri Lanka 14-6.

Team News

  • Bhanuka Rajapaksa is likely to be unavailable due to finger injury.

Sri Lankan bowlers were impressive in the last match with all bowlers contributing their bit. Spinners used the pitch to great effect and extracted lots of turn continuously troubling Indian batters. Wanindu Hasaranga will be crucial again. SL batters though, need to improve and put runs on the board. Avishka Fernando has looked good at the top but middle order hasn’t scored many runs. Skipper Dasun Shanaka will look to play captain’s innings when it matters the most.
