Sri Lanka will square off against India in the third T20I at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, Pallekele on Tuesday. The visitors have taken an unassailable lead of 2-0 in the three-match series after winning the first two games comprehensively.
Sri Lanka have got off to promising starts in both games but their middle order hasn’t been able to carry on the impetus. India, on the other hand, have executed their plans with perfection and have gone from strength to strength. The tourists have ticked the right boxes and they will look to continue the good show in this dead rubber contest.
