The caravan of the T20I series moves to Saurashtra travelling from Mumbai via Pune. While Mumbai was won by India by just two runs, the Lankans conquered Pune by 16 runs. In both games, the team winning the toss opted to field first and went on to lose the game. But even after this, the trend will remain same and the team winning the toss would once again look to field first at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot.
Playing 11 combinations of India
The Indian team played Rahul Tripathi and Arshdeep Singh in the last game, but none of them was impressive Tripathi was good in the field, but disappointed with the bat. Arshdeep was too wayward and didn’t seem confident enough with his strides. He might be rested for the third and final game while Tripathi would continue to find his place in the team.
India Predicted Playing 11
Ishan Kishan, Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav, Rahul Tripathi, Hardik Pandya, Deepak Hooda, Axar Patel, Harshal Patel/Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal, Shivam Mavi, Umran Malik
Playing 11 combinations of Sri Lanka
Though Bhanuka Rajapaksa and Dhananjaya de Silva, two experienced men with a plethora of talents were once again pathetic with the bat, Sri Lanka would not look to change its playing 11 just because of that. They would however be good to play Sadeera Samarawickrama and Avishka Fernando in place of the two aforementioned players, but it seems highly unlikely.
Sri Lanka Predicted Playing 11
Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Dhananjaya de Silva, Charith Asalanka, Dasun Shanaka, Wanindu Hasaranga, Chamika Karunaratne, Kasun Rajitha, Maheesh Theekshana, Dilsham Madushanka
