The final T20I of the three-match series between India and Sri Lanka is all set to be played on Friday. Notably, while the first match of the series scheduled at Guwahati was abandoned without a ball being bowled, India managed to win the second match by 7 wickets in Indore. The third contest in Pune thus becomes a crucial one.
While India would look to win the match and start the new year with a series win, Sri Lanka would look to level the series. The Indian team is expected to take the field without any changes to their winning XI.
