The first two games in the ongoing T20I series between India (IND) and Sri Lanka (SL) have already gone in favour of the visiting sides. Suryakumar Yadav and his men have already won the series, with one more match to play. The last game is all set to take place on July 30 at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Kandy.

The Men in Blue have put their best foot forward and didn't allow Sri Lanka to come close at all in the last two clashes. However, Charith Asalanka and his men have done well in the patches, which hasn't been great for them overall. So, the hosts must be gearing up to give a great fight and challenge the 2024 T20 World Cup-winning side in the third and final game to avoid a whitewash.

With barely any time to get adjusted to their new coach and captain, the Indian squad had won two games in a row. The batting has appeared formidable throughout the series, especially with the top order in outstanding form. The pacers had some trouble bowling, but they were still able to take wickets on an ongoing basis. However, the spinners have been among those who took wickets and have performed exceptionally well.

Considering Sri Lanka, although they haven't been able to secure a victory, they are showing some excellent purpose and have even created some spectacular moments. Lanka's middle order has struggled to make quick runs, which is causing issues with their batting lineup overall.

Pitch Report

The wicket at the Pallekele stadium has looked good for batting in the first two matches. The batters have enjoyed the pace and bounce on the track and have enjoyed playing their strokes. It has been a bit different from a typical wicket at Pallekele, however, there has been a bit of help on the track for the spinners. Especially in the second innings, the ball has turned more and has troubled the batters on certain occasions.

Player Picks

C

Riyan Parag IND | BAT

This young Indian all-rounder has been effective with the ball in this series. Riyan Parag picked up three wickets in the first match and although in the second game he did not get wickets, Parag looked effective. Besides, he can also contribute with the bat and this makes him a potentially good return pick for the game.

C

Kamindu Mendis SL | ALL

This Sri Lankan middle-order batter looked in good touch during the recently concluded LPL 2024. Kamindu Mendis has carried the form into this series and has looked in the two games. With the form that he has currently, Mendis could be a game-changing pick for you in this match.

8.5

Matheesha Pathirana SL | BOWL

The Sri Lankan pacer has been the most effective bowler in their line-up. Matheesha Pathirana has picked up crucial wickets and there are chances that he will pick up valuable points in this game too.

8.5

Pathum Nissanka SL | BAT

The Sri Lankan opener has been the most consistent batter in their line-up. Pathum Nissanka is currently the highest run-scorer in the series, and will be one of the safer choices for the game.

9

Suryakumar Yadav IND | BAT

The new Indian T20 captain has looked in a good form with the bat in this series. Suryakumar Yadav will be carrying a great momentum into this game and could be a high return pick for the game.

8.5

Arshdeep Singh IND | BOWL

The left-arm pacer has been consistent with the ball in the tournament. Arshdeep Singh has the wicket-taking form with him and as he bowls in the death over there are chances that he will give you points in the game.
