    What's the story

    Having sealed the series 2-0, India eye a series whitewash in the third and final T20I against hosts Sri Lanka on July 30.

    While the visitors dominated the proceedings in the first two games, middle-order collapses let the Lankans down.

    Meanwhile, Indian skipper Charith Asalanka has won the toss in the final T20I and elected to bowl first.

    Details 

    Pitch report and streaming details

    The Pallekele International Cricket Stadium is hosting the entirety of the series.

    Runs flew for fun here in the first two games as the flat track favored the batters.

    However, just like the second game, rain is likely to affect the third T20I as well.

    The match will be telecast on the Sony Sports Network while SonyLIV will provide the live streaming (7:00pm IST).
