The last T20I of the India vs Sri Lanka series will be played with the World T20 Cup winners eyeing clean sweep. The Lankan Lions have played well in patches but haven’t been able to win games. In the first two matches, the home side were in good positions, only to let the matches slip away. The 2014 World T20 Cup had batting collapses, not very surprising for the team though.
Over the last few years, across formats, the team has had batting collapses, which lost them matches. Even though they have had decent bowling in recent times, their fielding in the first game and lack of runs in the second game didn’t help them at all. Meanwhile, the former T20 champs would like to end the series on a winning note.

Pitch Report
Despite hosting back-to-back games, the wicket has played out well in both games. However, the old ball stops on the surface. In the second innings, the ball comes on the bat better due to the climatic condition in the night time. Both teams would like to bowl first.
