Toss Sri Lanka He chose to bowl against India
Sri Lanka captain Sarith Asalanga elected to bowl after winning the toss in the third and final T20I against India at Pallekale. Having already lost the series, the Sri Lankan team will be fielding to avoid a whitewash.
Given the surrounding weather – the toss was delayed by 70 minutes, and the match delayed by an hour due to rain and then a wet outfield – both teams preferred to bowl first. The new pitch is expected to help the spinners.
India made four changes, ensuring that everyone in the squad got at least one game. Shubman Gill returned after missing the second T20I with neck pain, while Shivam Dubey, Washington Sundar and Khalil Ahmed got their first game of the series. Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel and Arshdeep Singh led them.
