India is on a 2-0 lead in the three-match T20I series against Sri Lanka. In the first match, India hammered Sri Lanka by 62 runs and the second game witnessed Lankan defeat again by 7 wickets. Team India is now targeting another whitewash after a clean sweep victory against West Indies. Last year, both teams collided against each other when Sri Lanka defeated India by 2-1. However, this time, Rohit & Co. own advantage on the home soil in the ongoing series.
Team Preview
India
The young potency and energy in the Indian team were genuinely displayed in the last two T20I matches. As sharks observed from outside the field, India delivered some true dominion of their passion and faith in cricket. Shreyas Iyer, Sanju Samson and Ravindra Jadeja were indeed the guardians for the team in the last match.
With a twisting start of the inning, the pace was set tall by Ishan Kishan and Sanju Samson along with a clean finish by Ravindra Jadeja. If India wins the last match of the T20I series, Rohit Sharma will break his own record of winning most T20Is on home soil.
Sri Lanka
The Lankan team continued a good run form because of Pathun Nissanaka and Dasun Shanaka. While other batters failed to raise their banner, India bowlers were surprised by the healing score of 75 runs by Nissanka, which gave a slight edge on the field.
Lahiru Kumara strained the Indian team on the bowler side as Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan bid farewell to the field in the first five overs. However, fans are now expecting better performance by the bowlers and not offering accessible opportunities to the Indian team to sway hits.
