India vs Sri Lanka 3rd T20I LIVE
Hello and welcome to the live blog of India vs Sri Lanka 3rd T20I at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Unlike the ODIs, the third game of the T20I series is a crucial one as it will decide the winner of the tournament. Last night, India fielded all the 11 players available after a Covid scare in their bio-bubble. 4 players made debuts but the result wasn't in the visitor's favour. Sri Lanka managed to level the series and will surely be high on confidence. The third T20 will be a cracker as both teams are set to fight for the title.
