Toss Prediction
In their respective last four T20I matches, Sri Lanka have a 1-3 win-loss record at the toss, while it is 2-2 for India. With that, Suryakumar Yadav, the Indian captain, has a better chance of calling the toss right in comparison to Charith Asalanka, the captain of Sri Lanka.
Win Possibility
The likes of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant, and Hardik Pandya have scored the bulk of the runs for India at a high tempo in the first two T20Is. Meanwhile, the likes of Arshdeep Singh, Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, and Riyan Parag have taken the bulk of the wickets for India in the series thus far, playing a key role in their consecutive wins.
For Sri Lanka, the opening pair of Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis have provided fantastic starts at the top of the order in the first two T20Is, but the rest of the batting lineup has failed to capitalise on it. In the bowling department, Matheesha Pathirana and Wanindu Hasaranga have taken the majority of the wickets for Sri Lanka, but the rest of their teammates haven’t contributed to the cause.
With that, India will be fancying their chances of winning their third consecutive T20I, complete a 3-0 clean sweep of Sri Lanka.
Predicted powerplay score and first innings score
The pitches at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Pallekele have been very good for batting in the first two T20I matches of the series, allowing the batters to score runs at a quicker pace. With that, any total under 170 will be tough to defend in the second innings for either Sri Lanka or India. Notably, the average first innings score is 170 at this venue in T20Is, while the first innings score in the upcoming match could range between 175-185. The powerplay score could go up to 50-55.
