India and Sri Lanka will play 3rd T20I on Sunday. The hosts lead the series 2-0 going into the third and final T20I. On Thursday, India won by 62 runs, and on Saturday, they won by 7 wickets. India continues to dominate all opponents in this format, and they are aiming for their twelfth consecutive IT20 triumph in the last game of the series.
On Saturday, Sri Lanka’s openers got them off to a good start, but their middle order, except captain Dasun Shanaka, could not support them. If they want to contend, they will need their entire batting lineup to be on fire.
Weather
With temperatures hovering around 10°C, the playing conditions will be primarily frigid, and the humidity will be in the high 30s for the most part. For the time being, there is no prospect of rain.
Pitch
The pitch in Dharamsala turned out to be ideal for batting. While the batters were allowed to play their shots primarily on the up, the bowlers will have to put in a lot of effort to earn their rewards. For teams, winning the toss and batting second should be the way to go.
