The India cricket team will be eyeing yet another series win at home when they take on the Sri Lanka cricket team in their third and final T20 International (T20) at Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune on Friday. The Virat Kohli-led India side registered a comfortable seven-wicket victory in the second T20 and took an unassailable 1-0 lead in the tournament. The first T20 in Guwahati had been called off due to dampness on the pitch.

The second T20, in which Jasprit Bumrah was making a comeback, saw Navdeep Saini and Shardul Thakur making headlines, proving India's newfound bowling strength. In the batting department, K L Rahul continued his good form and gave India a strong start along with Shikhar Dhawan. Shreyas Iyer and Kohli capitalised on that foundation and their gutsy power-hitting ensiured India were home fairly easily.

 
On the other hand, Sri Lanka need to improve their performance on all fronts if they aim to level the series. Captain Lasith Malinga would be tempted to bring in Angelo Mathews in place of Oshanda Fernando, while injured left-arm pacer Isuru Udana might have to be replaced by Kasun Ranjitha in like-to-like replacement.
