India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, IND vs SL 3rd T20I: Arshdeep says that he likes the pressure of international cricket, bowling in tough situations. "I try new variations - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, I focus on the process and not results," he says. He also says that he is learning from the players that he has bowled with over the years like Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and now Mohammed Siraj. "The vibe (in the team) is really nice, the environment is very light, we are having fun, we are having each others' back," he says.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, IND vs SL 3rd T20I: Russell Arnold telling us that there could still be intermittent showers. He also refrains from committing to any weather forecast as doing that is an impossible task in Pallekele. The pitch today is different to the one that was used for the first two matches. This is drier, the cracks are evident so it is going to turn, says Arnold. Slower balls are going to be effective. There's dew, the ball will come back wet and slide. You are certainly wanting to chase. Pitch should hold up 160-170 is the total you're looking for. The slower you bowl, the harder it will be for strokeplay. Dew is going to make it very hard to grip the ball.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, IND vs SL 3rd T20I: The Indians and Sri Lankans are both out there. Arshdeep Singh is sending in a few balls which is quite surprising. Surely the Indians are not thinking of having the same fast bowling combination in this match despite the series being in the bag.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, IND vs SL 3rd T20I: Right it looks like we are closer to toss than it looked like a couple of minutes back. The umpires are talking to the ground staff and the match officials. Don't really see players warming up.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, IND vs SL 3rd T20I: The ground staff have to dry out the covers while taking them off as well which is what is taking so much time. The two sets of players are still in the dressing room, we can see the Indians sitting around captain Suryakumar Yadav and chatting. He is still in his training kit.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, IND vs SL 3rd T20I: There is the confirmation. Slight delay in toss as the covers are being taken off.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, IND vs SL 3rd T20I: It isn't raining but there are covers that need drying. There could be a slight delay because of this but no confirmation of anything yet.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, IND vs SL 3rd T20I: Mohammed Siraj has contrasting fortunes against Sri Lanka in limited overs cricket. He has been a tormentor for them in ODIs but not so much in T20Is.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, IND vs SL 3rd T20I: Pathirana has shown that he can take wickets when batters are going after big shots. He has dismissed Suryakumar Yadav in all three T20 innings he has bowled to him. Sri Lanka could be encouraged to introduce Pathirana to the attack earlier than usual to try and target India's skipper.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, IND vs SL 3rd T20I: There was a time when Sri Lanka didn't lose a single T20I played in Pallekele between 2012 and 2015. Those days are long gone and presently, Sri Lanka have lost five of the last six T20Is played here.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, IND vs SL 3rd T20I: The rain that hampered the second T20I rolled on into the next two days and a thin mist had descended on the hills of Kandy. India made the most of these pleasant climes by cancelling their practice session on Monday. They had put in high octane performances two days in a row and so another session Monday would have felt like needless overkill, especially with the series in the bag.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, IND vs SL 3rd T20I: It has been an interesting battle between India's premier all-rounder for the series and Sri Lanka's highest scorer of this series. Pathum Nissanka may have dealt with Axar Patel slightly well in this series, but the left-arm spinner has usually managed to control the in-form Sri Lankan opener, conceding only 39 runs in 30 balls and dismissing him twice.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, IND vs SL 3rd T20I: Suryakumar Yadav didn't really reveal if India will be making changes for this match but if they do, one could expect Shubman Gill to return. They could also give Washington Sundar and Khaleel Ahmed a go as well.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, IND vs SL 3rd T20I: Don't be fooled by the margins of victories, Sri Lanka did put India under some pressure in both matches of this series. They were undone, though, by India's sheer doggedness and their own fragile middle order giving into even the slightest of pressures. They lost nine wickets for 31 runs and thus lost their way in a 214-run chase in the first T20I. Then they lost seven wickets for 30 in the last five overs of the second T20I.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, IND vs SL 3rd T20I: Well this is one of those rare periods in Indian sports where cricket might feel like a sideshow. The Indian athletes are doing their thing at the Paris Olympics and there has been another medal that has come India's way today with Manu Bhaker and Sarabjot Singh winning bronze in mixed team 10m air pistol. Manu in particular has broken all sorts of records, most prominent of which is being the first Indian in the country's independent history to win two medals at the same Olympics. There is much more to come today from an Indian perspective and you can follow it all HERE.
