India Seeks Series Whitewash Against Sri Lanka in Final T20I

Please remember the following information for the upcoming cricket match: India, led by new coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Suryakumar Yadav, has dominated Sri Lanka in the first two T20I matches, securing wins and aiming to achieve a series whitewash in the third and final T20I. India’s seven-wicket victory in the rain-shortened second T20I highlighted Sri Lanka’s struggles, particularly in batting. Despite a promising start, Sri Lanka failed to maintain their momentum due to subpar batting performances.

Meanwhile, the Sri Lankan women’s team achieved success in the Women’s T20 Asia Cup, but the men’s team continues to face challenges, particularly in batting collapses during the middle overs. India has displayed superior skills and confidence throughout the series, consistently outperforming the Sri Lankan team.

Captain Suryakumar has been instrumental in marshalling his team, making effective bowling changes, and contributing with the bat. The Indian team’s aggressive approach has yielded positive results, with key players like Yashasvi Jaiswal making significant contributions.

However, the availability of vice-captain Shubman Gill for the third match remains uncertain due to injury. On the Sri Lankan side, Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Perera have shown promise at the top, but their challenges in the middle overs have impacted the team’s performance.

Indian spinner Ravi Bishnoi highlighted Sri Lanka’s struggles against spin bowling, emphasizing their batting collapses during the middle overs. Sri Lanka will look to improve its bowling performance in the upcoming match.

Here are the teams for the match: India: Suryakumar Yadav (c), Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rinku Singh, Riyan Parag, Rishabh Pant (wk), Sanju Samson (wk), Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Khaleel Ahmed, Mohammed Siraj.

Sri Lanka: Dinesh Chandimal, Avishka Fernando, Kusal Mendis (wk), Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Perera, Charith Asalanka (c), Wanindu Hasaranga, Kamindu Mendis, Dasun Shanaka, Chamindu Wickramasinghe, Binura Fernando, Asitha Fernando, Dilshan Madushanka, Matheesha Pathirana, Maheesh Theekshana, Dunith Welalage.
