After an enthralling ODI series, it is now time for some T20I action. Sri Lanka will take on India in the first of the 3-match T20I series, which gets underway from 25th July. After losing two ODIs, Sri Lanka made a great comeback in the 3rd ODI and won the match by 3 wickets, which will give them a lot of confidence coming to this T20 series.
Meanwhile, India will be definitely proud of their performances, especially in the 2nd ODI, where the lower-order stood up and fought courageously. Despite losing the 3rd ODI, they will still back themselves and will be hoping to make a good start in the T20Is as well.

Avishka Fernando ended up as the leading run-scorer in the ODI series with 159 runs in 3 matches. We can expect another good knock from his willow in this match.

Hardik Pandya is a completely different player in the T20 format. He can be promoted up the order in order to increase the run rate. Pandya has scored 474 runs and picked up 41 wickets in his T20I career.
Chamika Karunaratne has a wide range of shots and he did exceedingly well in the ODIs, especially at the death, where he went after the Indian bowlers. He bowls at a good pace as well.
Top Picks – Bowlers
Akila Dananjaya troubled the Indian batters in the 3rd ODI with his superb spell of bowling. The wily spinner has picked up 26 wickets in his T20I career.
Deepak Chahar has utilized his knuckleball variations to the maximum extent in the ODIs and he found success as well. Chahar has also proved that he can score big runs with the bat.
