The 3rd T20I match between Sri Lanka and India will be played on 29th July at the R. Premadasa Stadium.
After losing the first T20I brutally, the Sri Lankan team made a great comeback and beat India by 4 wickets in the second game to square the series at 1-1. The Indian squad was hit by a Covid-19 case (Krunal Pandya) which ended up pushing nearly 8 more members into isolation. India will be without them in the 3rd T20I as well. There were 4 debutants for India in the 2nd T20I.
In the second T20I match, Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to field. Coming to bat, India got a good start as the openers shared a 49-run partnership for the first wicket. After the first wicket fell, Devdutt Padikkal came in at no.3 and knocked 29 handy runs. But once his wicket fell, no other Indian batsmen looked comfortable enough to score runs.
