THE PREDICTION
The outcome of this three-match T20i series between these two Asian nations will be decided in Rajkot after Sri Lanka hit back to level the score at 1-1 on Thursday, beating India by 16 runs. The home side’s bowling, specifically their discipline let them down with Arshdeep Singh the main culprit, conceding five of India’s seven no balls across Sri Lanka’s innings batting first. This helped parachute the tourists to a lofty total of 206/6, which proved to a winning score. It’s hard to see any of the Indian bowlers making the same mistakes so frequently this time round and a tighter display is expected.
Sri Lanka’s victory in Pune will have given them confidence that they can come out and clinch the series, but India’s batters have proven themselves as a force against the visiting bowlers and will give their team a fighting chance of success. Combine that with an improved bowling performance and India should edge this deciding match.
