India vs Sri Lanka, Preview: 

Sri Lanka look to play for pride in the 3rd T20I as India look to clean-sweep the series 3-0. Indian middle-order starring Shreyas Iyer, Sanju Samson, and Ravindra Jadeja helped the team chase 184 runs in the 2nd T20I with 17 balls to spare and take an unassailable lead of 2-0 in the three-match series.

Ishan Kishan is unlikely to play in this game as he was sent to the hospital yesterday for precautionary scans after being hit on the head by a bouncer. Dinesh Chandimal too went for scans but there is no update regarding his fitness as of now. 

There will be at least one chance in both teams for this game, as it seems, considering fitness and a dead rubber game.

• India - Rohit Sharma (c), Ishan Kishan/ Mayank Agarwal, Shreyas Iyer, Sanju Samson, Ravindra Jadeja, Venkatesh Iyer, Deepak Hooda, Harshal Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah/ Mohd Siraj, Yuzvendra Chahal
