India vs Sri Lanka, 3rd T20I will be played in Dharamsala, tonight. The hosts have already taken an unassailable lead in the series. Thus, Rohit might look to try a few experiments. On the other hand, the Sri Lankan fielding coach might ask the fielders to wash their hands thoroughly before entering the field. The SL fielders very sloppy in the field last night. Had they grabbed their chances well, the result might have been something else. But, what has happened is a part of the past and the future is something to look upon. SL would certainly not want to begin the test series with a 3-0 loss at their back.

India Vs Sri Lanka, Dream 11 Top Picks
As we say in the second game, batters enjoyed their time at the crease. Thus, we can expect another run fest at the HPCA Stadium. To allow a few players to spend some time on the pitch, Rohit might drop himself in the batting order, or ask Shreyas to bat lower down the order. While the Sri Lankan captain, Dasun Shanaka, might think of batting at a higher position after a string of poor performances from his middle order.Â

If India bat second, choose Shreyas Iyer as your captain. There is a possibility that Shreyas might not bat at 3 if India bats first. But, in any circumstace, he has to be a part of your fantasy team. If he gets a sufficient number of balls to play, he can blow away the opposition.
Ishan Kishan was the player of the match in Lucknow three evenings ago. He will keep the wickets for India, thus he can give us some handy points through the catches he takes or the stumpings he does. Plus, he is in a good form with the bat and as an opener, he will try to make the best use of the powerplay.
Top Picks: Sri Lanka
Pathum Nissanka batted beautifully in the second match . Nissanka was in sublime form against Australia recently and he has continued it in India as well. He was unfortunate to get out on the first ball in the first match, but he came back strongly in the second game with his inning of 73 runs. We have selected him as the vice-captain of our Dream11 fantasy deam.
Charith Asalanka was Sri Lanka’s lone warrior in the first game. Asalanka scored 53 runs off 47 balls. He was slow, but with the wickets falling continuously from the other end, he never got the chance to accelerate. Unfortunately, he couldn’t contribute much to the SL inning in the second match. But he would try his best to help his team avoid a whitewash.

Pitch Report
The pitch assisted the batsmen in the second T20I yesterday. Thus, the team winning the toss would want to chase. The wicket stayed pretty similar throughout the game, therefore the captains won’t have any sort of doubts in their minds. However, Rohit might elect to bat first in order to challenge his bowlers ahead of the T20 World Cup.
