Throw it Sri Lanka he chose to throw vs India
Sri Lanka captain Charith Asalanka won the toss and elected to bowl in the third and final T20I against India at Pallekele. Having already lost the series, Sri Lanka will be looking to avoid a hiding.
Given the weather – the toss was delayed by 70 minutes, and the start of the match by an hour, due to rain and a wet pitch – both teams wanted to bowl first. The game is being played on a new stadium, which is expected to help the bowlers.
India have made four changes, ensuring that everyone in the team gets at least one game. Shubman Gill, who had missed the second T20I due to a sprained neck, returned, while Shivam Dube, Washington Sundar and Khaleel Ahmed got their series debuts. Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel and Arshdeep Singh paved the way for them.
Sri Lanka: 1 Pathum Nissanka, 2 Kusal Mendis (wk), 3 Kusal Perera, 4 Kamindu Mendis, 5 Charith Asalanka (capt), 6 Chamindu Wickramasinghe, 7 Wanindu Hasaranga, 8 Ramesh Mendis, 9 Maheesh Theekshana, 10 Asithaosha Fernando
