India is set to face Sri Lanka in the third and final T20I match of the series on Tuesday at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Pallekele. Under the leadership of new captain Suryakumar Yadav and new head coach Gautam Gambhir, India performed well in the first two matches, securing an unbeatable 2-0 lead in the series. India aims to sweep the series with a win on Tuesday.
Series History and Significance
India has whitewashed Sri Lanka in T20I series twice before, in 2017 and 2022, both times in India. If India wins on Tuesday, it will be the first time they achieve a clean sweep in Sri Lanka and become the second team after South Africa to do so.
Weather Impact and Practice Sessions
Rain affected the second T20I on Sunday, reducing India’s innings to just eight overs. Despite the weather, India chased down the revised target with nine balls to spare. On Monday, India’s practice session was canceled due to continuous rain in Pallekele. They are expected to train on Tuesday afternoon, with players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, and Kuldeep Yadav, who are part of the ODI series, joining the session.
