India v Sri Lanka, 2017: 3rd T20I – Statistical Preview

After huge wins in first two T20Is, India will look to get into winning ways in the T20I format at the Wankhede and whitewash the visitors. On the other hand, Sri Lanka would look to return home with some pride and ensure they won’t record their 8th consecutive defeat in this format which will be their worst streak ever. The Lankans will need to stop the Indian batsmen from posting huge totals and apply better against the wrist spinners to register a positive result.

All the key stats and numbers to look out ahead of the final T20I game in Mumbai:
