The third twenty20 match of Sri Lanka’s tour of India 2016 is set to be played on 14th February in Visakhapatnam. This is the series deciding match as both teams have won 1-1 game each. India vs Sri Lanka third T20I is scheduled to start at 19:30 local time and 14:00 GMT.
Preview
With a big win of 69 runs in second game, Indian cricket team will definitely be on the top in the final game at Visakhapatnam. Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma and Suresh Raina are in great touch for Men in Blue in recent time and will be again crucial in Sunday’s match. But the middle order is still an area for concern for captain MS Dhoni as Rahane, Yuvraj and he himself haven’t performed very well in the recent time as per expectations and capabilities.
This will be the last t20 for both teams before entering into Asia cup and World Twenty20. So both teams will be looking to get some experiment with their line-ups, especially team India as they are playing in the series with their full strength. And captain cool has already mentioned that team management will do some experiments before going into ICC World T20 2016.
On the other hand Sri Lanka team are not with their main players like Malinga and Mathews. So they’ll be desperate to give chances to young players. The batting order was totally collapsed in previous match and it is the concern area for them.
Prediction
Indian team will be favorite to win and they have got 65 percent winning chances over Sri Lanka in the Visakhapatnam 2020 match on Sunday.
