India vs Sri Lanka 3rd T20I: Toss result and playing 11s, umpires and pitch report
Having clinched the T20 series with a game in hand, Team India will look to complete a clean sweep in the 3rd T20I against Sri Lanka on Sunday. The Men in Blue’s triumph in the 2nd T20I was their 11th consecutive win in the 20-over format. They had earlier blanked West Indies and New Zealand at home.
India chased down a challenging target of 184 without much trouble in Saturday’s match on the back of their batting might. Shreyas Iyer cracked his second consecutive fifty as he remained unbeaten on 74 off 44.
Sanju Samson gave glimpses of his talent with a brutal 25-ball 39 while Ravindra Jadeja came in and scored boundaries for fun.

While Team India have hit an unbeaten streak in T20Is, they still need to work on their bowling in the death overs. Sri Lanka plundered 80 runs in the last five overs in the second match between the two sides. This is one box the hosts need to tick in the 3rd T20I.
