In this article we will be analyzing the SL vs IND Match Prediction. Sri Lanka will host India in the final T20I of the three-match series on Tuesday, July 30 at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium.
Two gruelling and intensely competitive days of cricket have showcased a series of riveting and closely-fought contests. Despite the exhilarating play, India emerged victorious in both matches with considerable authority, securing an unassailable lead.
The first match was marked by a spectacular bowling resurgence, as the Men in Blue dismantled the hosts’ resistance, claiming nine wickets while conceding merely 30 runs. This impressive performance orchestrated a remarkable 43-run comeback victory.
Meanwhile, the main highlight of the second game was how Ravi Bishnoi and the batting line-up stepped up in a rain-curtailed match to get the team over the line, courtesy of DLS (Duckworth-Lewis-Stern) method.
Regarding the playing combinations for the third and final game, a few adjustments are anticipated from both teams.

Pitch Report:
Given that the pitch has been utilized in both previous matches, the inclusion of spinners is anticipated, while there will still be ample opportunity for fast bowlers to experiment with their variations. Both preceding matches have been high-scoring encounters, so it is likely that this final game will follow a similar trend. Anything above 200 can be considered a fighting total at the venue.

SL vs IND Probable Playing XIs
Sri Lanka:
Avishka Fernando, Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis (wk), Dinesh Chandimal, Kamindu Mendis, Dasun Shanaka, Wanindu Hasaranga, Matheesha Pathirana, Maheesh Theekshana, Ramesh Mendis, Binura Fernando

Probable Top Performers
Probable Best Batter: Yashasvi Jaiswal
The enterprising southpaw has made impressive starts in the past few games but has been unable to convert these promising beginnings into substantial scores. As he is not included in the ODI squad, this will be his final international appearance until potentially September, when he is more than likely to be selected for the Test series against Bangladesh. Consequently, he will be eager to leave a lasting impression.
Probable Best Bowler: Ravi Bishnoi
The astute leg-spinner appears to have regained his form, particularly evident from his performance in the previous match. Given that the pitch has been utilized in two prior games, the Sri Lankan batters may find it increasingly challenging to decipher his elusive variations. The Player of the Match from the previous encounter and India’s top T20I spinner is expected to be the key to the Men in Blue’s success with the ball.
