IND vs SL 3rd T20I Live Updates: India lag on all three fronts

 

India are lagging on all three fronts of the game. The batting has been poor with none of the batters apart from Deepak Hooda (1st match) and Suryakumar Yadav (2nd match) finding form. Axar Patel has been a saviour with both bat and ball. Shivam Mavi did shine in the first game with 4/22, but he was all over the place in the second. Arshdeep Singh would like to erase the second T20I from his memory as he bowled five no-balls, three of which were consecutive.

 

Thus, the Indian team has not been able to click on all fronts in the same game, thereby causing difficult situations. Though the new Indian skipper Pandya wants to put his team under pressure situations to achieve better results, he too would not like to become the first Indian skipper to lose a series to a Sri Lankan team in India.

They have won only four series against India in total. It was in 2008 when the Lankan lions won the last and only Test series against India. It was played in Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka have twice won the ODI series against India none of them have come in this millennium. The two events occurred in 1993 and 1997.

 

When it comes to the shortest format, in 2009, Sri Lanka came close to winning its first-ever series in India after they won the Nagpur T20I by scoring more than 200 runs in the first innings. But in Mohali, they lost and the two-match series ended level at 1-1. The only time Sri Lanka won a T20I bilateral series against India, was in 2021 and the series took place in Sri Lanka, where the hosts won 2-1.
