SL vs IND, 3rd ODI Preview: Buoyant India Look To Sweep Series Against Sri Lanka

After managing to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, the Indian limited-overs team is primed to sweep the ODI series 3-0 when it takes on Sri Lanka in the third and final ODI here at the R Premad

Sri Lanka, on the other hand, would hope to get a consolation win. Their problem has been their lack of experience in captaincy. The stand-in skipper Dasun Shanaka made the error of keeping the field up in the penultimate over when India still needed some runs. It allowed the Indians to use the pace of Dushmantha Chameera and earn a couple of boundaries in the vacant third man region.
