India vs Sri Lanka Highlights, 3rd T20I Match, Full Cricket Score: Hosts win by six wickets, complete 3-0 sweep – Firstcricket News, Firstpost
India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, 3rd T20I in Dharamsala: Shreyas Iyer remains unbeaten on 73, forging another valuable unbroken partnership with Ravindra Jadeja (22 not out) as India pull off another comfortable victory to complete a third consecutive 3-0 sweep as well as their 12th T20I win on the trot.
Preview: India clinched yet another series on home soil with a comprehensive seven-wicket victory in the second T20I against Sri Lanka, and will be eyeing a third consecutive 3-0 sweep under Rohit Sharma’s leadership when they take on Dasun Shanaka’s men in the third and final match of the series.
The Men in Blue had entered the second T20I as the strong favourites after a 62-run win in the opening game in Lucknow, and skipper Rohit this time opted to field. Thanks to vital contributions from Pathum Nissanka (75) and skipper Shanaka (47 not out), the Lankans were able to post a competitive 183/5 on the board, with a staggering 80 runs coming in the last five overs.
Though they were off to a positive start after getting rid of Rohit cheaply, with Ishan Kishan following him soon after, the game slipped out of their hands once Shreyas Iyer (74 not out) was able to steady the hosts in the middle overs while forging a valuable stand with Sanju Samson (39). Ravindra Jadeja walked in after Samson’s dismissal and teed off right away, his 18-ball 45 not out helping finish things off for the hosts with 17 balls to spare.
India, who had retained the same XI for the second game, might think about making some changes and give an opportunity to some of the benchwarmers for the third and final game of the series. Sri Lanka, who had lost the T20I series in Australia 4-1 before arriving here, will hope to end the series on a positive note before shifting their focus to the Tests.
