Hosts Sri Lanka will face India in the third T20I of the current short-overs series on Wednesday, July 29, at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium. India won the opening match of the T20I series by 43 runs over the hosts, and the team hopes to keep winning. On the other hand, the hosts want to mount a comeback in front of their home fans. Thus, Sri Lanka hopes to win and prevent a whitewash. The Indian team's head coach, Gautam Gambhir, may be tempted to make a few changes when they play the last match of the series on Tuesday (30 July). Sanju Samson appeared in Shubman Gill's second match but was generally ineffective. The Kerala native got a golden duck with the bat, severely hurting his chances of selection.
India’s Predicted Lineup for the 3rd T20I
Before the last encounter on Tuesday, Team India may make a few changes. Shivam Dube, Khaleel Ahmed, and Washington Sundar have yet to play a match in the series and may do so on Tuesday.

The ambitious Yashasvi Jaiswal has produced promising starts in recent games but has yet to translate them into significant scores. Because he is not named in the ODI team, this will be his final international participation until September, when he is expected to be selected for the Test series against Bangladesh. As a result, he will be eager to make a lasting impression. The savvy leg-spinner, Ravi Bishnoi looks to have rediscovered form, as seen by his performance in the last encounter. Given that the pitch has been used in the previous two games, Sri Lankan batsmen may find it more difficult to understand his evasive variations.
