Charith Asalanka will be upset at his side's losses. The team had its chances in both games, but the lack of a killer instinct has hurt them dearly. The bowling attack has failed to execute its plans and allowed the Indian batsmen to take them to the cleaners. The side needs a good show from the bowling attack and the middle-order batters to avoid another whitewash at home.
Pathum Nissanka is enjoying a purple patch and shall aim to deliver a strong start at the top with Kusal Mendis. Kusal Perera, Kamindu Mendis, and Charitha Asalanka must add runs in the middle order, as they have been inconsistent in recent games. Dasun Shanaka, Ramesh Mendis, and Wanindu Hasaranga are good hitters, and the side will expect runs from them in the final overs.
The bowling attack has disappointed the fans. Maheesh Theekshana has done well, but he will need good from Dasun Shanaka with the new ball. Wanindu Hasaranga is the side's best bowler, and he must do well in the middle overs with Matheesha Pathirana. In the ing role, they will also need good spells from Asitha Fernando and Kamindu Mendis.

Suryakumar Yadav's team has been clinical in both games. Though the World Champions have had tough moments with the ball, the batting lineup has been in excellent form. Yadavd would like a clean sweep in his debut series as skipper but needs a better show from his bowling attack, as it has been the only weakness for the team on this tour.
Yashasvi Jaiswal is in good form, and he will look to deliver a good start with Sanju Samson in this game. Suryakumar Yadav adds X-factor at No. 3 and he shall look to do well in the middle order with Rishab Pant and Hardik Pandya. The side will expect big hits from Riyan Parag, Rinku Singh and Axar Patel in the lower middle order.
Arshdeep Singh is bowling well, and the side needs a good spell from him and Mohammad Siraj. Axar Patel and Ravi Bishnoi shall enjoy bowling on this turning track, and they must do well in the middle overs. Hardik Pandya and Riyan Parag add depth to the attack, making it strong.
India to win the match, Suryakumar Yadav to hit over 0.5 6’s and Yashasvi Jaiswal to score over 24.5 runs 2.45

We would see overcast skies over Pallekele, and rain may cause disruptions. The wicket here has produced lots of runs in the past, as batsmen can play their strokes freely. The average first innings score here is 170 runs, among the highest in the world. The side batting first in this game would be eying a total above 190 runs to defend it successfully.

Pallekele International Cricket Stadium has large dimensions. However, the track is flat, and fast outfield allows batsmen to score quickly. Fast bowlers do well under cloudy skies and get the ball to move. The wicket here offers lots of assistance to the spinners as the ball grips the surface and turns sharply.
Yashasvi Jaiswal (4 sixes), Kusal Perera (2 sixes), and Suryakumar Yadav (3 sixes) have been in exceptional form during the T20I series. Given their current hitting prowess, we anticipate each of them to continue their dominance and smash at least one six in the 3rd T20I.
We have seen a great batting surface in both games and lots of runs have been scored, and teams have maintained a rate of 10 rpo. Defending a total won't be easy at this venue in the second innings, where the ball doesn't turn much. The side winning the toss won't hesitate to bowl first on this surface.
The Sri Lankans have a strong batting lineup, but the bowling attack has let the side down in both games. They have failed to maintain their advantage and need better performances from the bowlers and lower middle order. The Indians enjoy an excellent run in this format and have a destructive batting lineup. Based on the current form, the Indians will start favorites.
