This series will include three T20I matches and three ODIs between India and Sri Lanka, each side having experienced ups and downs in recent times. India enters as the overwhelming favourites, after their impressive win over Pakistan in their previous group match; Sri Lanka must recover some momentum after falling to New Zealand in their opening match of this tournament.

India Vs Sri Lanka Live Scores:

The three-match T20I series between India and Sri Lanka begins Wednesday in Colombo’s R Premadasa Stadium; India won its previous round 3-0 but are eager for payback this time around.

After winning the toss and electing to bat, Sri Lanka lost opener Pathum Nissanka on Mohammed Siraj’s first delivery – caught deep – as soon as he got out. Wickets continued to fall regularly throughout their innings; Avishka Fernando and Kusal Mendis contributed with an unbroken 74 run stand between them as top scorers; Washington Sundar’s bowling spell managed to restrict hosts in death overs.

Mendis and Dunith Wellalage attempted to build an alliance but Sundar took swift action by dismissing Wellalage LBW shortly thereafter – leaving the tourists reeling at 248/7.

Indian T20I Squad:

Harmanpreet Kaur was doubtful to play in the previous match due to a shoulder injury, but has been cleared for this match and will lead the Indian side. Pooja Vastrakar will replace her at the back of their order.

Dinesh Chandimal has named an unchanged squad for Sri Lanka vs India ODI at Rangiri Dambulla Stadium on Monday. This squad played against Afghanistan last time out but is without injured players Lahiru Thirimanne and Tharanga Gamage; Chandimal hopes Kusal Perera and Dunith Wellalage can provide an effective platform for his innings.
