The first T20I between India (IND) and Sri Lanka (SL) is set to take place at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Sunday.
PREVIEW
India succumbed to a tough loss in the third and final ODI. But with a change in format, India will be eyeing a return to winning ways. The likes of Suryakumar Yadav and Bhuvneshwar Kumar will be looking to seal their spot in the side with the T20 World Cup on the horizon.
Their opponents, Sri Lanka, will bank on their newfound momentum to continue their winning run. They possess an explosive batting unit with Avishka Fernando and Bhanuka Rajapaksa in fine form.
