    IND vs SL 3rd ODI: Team prediction, Fantasy cricket tips

    Sri Lanka has struggled with significant player injuries, including those to Pathum Nissanka and Dilshan Madushanka...


    Digital Desk: The Indian team managed to seal the ongoing three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka in the second game itself in Kolkata, however, the visitors made the Men in Blue work hard, even if the target to chase down was just 216. If the first game's focus was on the batting, the second's focus was on the bowling, which helped India set up the match. Whether it was Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill, or Kuldeep Yadav and KL Rahul, the Men in Blue are finding players to do the job, which is what the team game is about. The hosts will be eager to focus on this as they prepare for the World Cup.


    A few changes to the Indian lineup are expected now that the series is over, especially with a new series beginning in three days, as skipper Rohit Sharma hinted at during the post-game presentation a few days ago. Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, and Washington Sundar might be given a chance given their expected importance in the New Zealand series in the absence of a few players.

    However, Sri Lanka has struggled with significant player injuries, including those to Pathum Nissanka and Dilshan Madushanka. Whether it was captain Dasun Shanaka's century in game one of the series or the all-around bowling effort in game two, the Sri Lankan team has shown promise but hasn't been able to completely capitalise on it. They'll try to finish the game to avoid a series sweep in Thiruvananthapuram.


    India's predicted playing 11:

    Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli/Suryakumar Yadav, Shreyas Iyer, Ishan Kishan/KL Rahul (wk), Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Mohammed Shami/Mohammed Siraj, Umran Malik, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav


    Sri Lanka's predicted playing 11:

    Nuwanidu Fernando, Avishka Fernando, Kusal Mendis (wk), Charith Asalanka, Dhananjaya de Silva, Dasun Shanaka (c), Wanindu Hasaranga, Chamika Karunaratne, Dunith Wellalage, Lahiru Kumara, Kasun Rajitha
