LIVE India vs Sri Lanka 3rd T20I: Pitch Report
The Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium's pitch is a batting-friendly surface and is anticipated to be of great help to the batsmen in both innings. Spinners will be essential in the middle overs, while pacers may receive some help in the second half of the game.
LIVE India vs Sri Lanka 3rd T20I: No sign of rain
At Rajkot, the humidity level will be relatively low—just 31%. Dew chances will be relatively low, but making a good number of runs and playing excellent defence won't be a bad idea either. By 7 p.m. IST, the temperature would drop from 28 degrees Celsius to 23 degrees Celsius at 11 p.m. IST.

LIVE India vs Sri Lanka 3rd T20I: No comeback for senior players?
According to Indian head coach Rahul Dravid, the Men in Blue have surpassed established veterans like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Dinesh Karthik in the game's shortest format. India's team selection for the current series against Sri Lanka, which contained a predominantly young composition headed by Hardik Pandya, was a big indication of a severe makeover in India's T20I structure after the devastating loss to England in the 2022 T20 World Cup semi-final in November.

LIVE India vs Sri Lanka 3rd T20I: Rahul Dravi back Arshdeep Singh
"Nobody wants to bowl wides and no-balls in any format of the game, but especially in the T20 format of the game. The young kids will have games like this at times, and I think we all need to be patient with them, (but) we need to be understanding that games like this can't happen. I think as they're learning, it's tough. It's not easy learning in international cricket. You have to learn on the job. I think we're going to have to have a little bit of patience with these guys," Dravid said in a post-match press conference.
LIVE India vs Sri Lanka 3rd T20I: Sunil Gavaskar unhappy with Arshdeep Singh
During the hosts' 16-run loss to Sri Lanka in the second T20I at Pune, legendary Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar criticised left-arm fast bowler Arshdeep Singh for bowling five no balls in his two-over performance. After missing the first T20I in Mumbai due to illness, Arshdeep, who now plays for India, struggled mightily in Pune. In only two overs against Sri Lanka, he let up 37 runs, and in his first over of the game, he even conceded three consecutive no-balls.
"As a professional, you can't be doing this. We often hear that today's players say, things aren't in our control. Not bowling no ball is in your control. What happens after you deliver the ball, what the batsman does, is another thing. Not bowling a no ball is definitely in your control," said Gavaskar when he was on his commentary duty for broadcasters Star Sports.
LIVE IND vs SL 3rd T20I: Pitch Report
At SCA Stadium, the average first innings total is 179, and the second innings total is 149. Rajkot has a history of providing some assistance to the spinners. Overall, it is a batting haven, and quick bowlers frequently rely on slower deliveries to misdirect batsmen. If the ground is hard and offers little assistance to the spinners, another high-scoring match is to be anticipated.

Hello and welcome to Zee News' live coverage of India vs Sri Lanka 3rd and final T20I of the series. This will be the series decider and both teams will go all guns blazing in it. This is you host Akash and I will take you through all the key updates of the game.
New look Team India under the leadership of Hardik Pandya without the regular captain Rohit Sharma and key players like Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja, Jasprit Bumrah, KL Rahul and M Shami are at level with Asia Cup 2022 champions Sri Lanka after winning the first game of the three-match series and losing the second one. With a relatively inexperienced bowling and batting attack one can say that Men in Blue are putting up a great fight against the Lankan side, however, according to many cricket experts except for one or two veteran players there is no place for others in the T20 side at least which means that Hardik Pandya's side need to find a way of winning the matches with this team.

Even though India won the first game by just two runs, it was not a thrilling contest as it looked like both the teams tried their level best to lose the game even after being in a position to claim the match. Coming into the game with a 1-0 lead in the series, Indian bowlers were thrashed all over the park in Pune by Sri Lanka's top order, however, Hardik's side managed to bounce back on the excellent bowling spells by Yuzvendra Chahal and Axar Patel. Arshdeep Singh and Shivam Mavi made silly mistakes to make sure that India had to chase big total while Umran Malik did his job of taking wickets and being expensive.
The top order collapsed like pack of cards during the chase and it was sheer brilliance by Axar and Suryakumar Yadav which helped India get so close to the target. In the next game, India will hope that they claim the series by winning the all-important series decider.
What to expect in the IND vs SL 3rd T20I?
Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill need to fire at the top. Ishan will get a bigger rope as he has just scored a double ton in the ODI cricket, however, Gill will have to make way for captain Rohit in the next series. Umran Malik needs to continue his great form it is his sheer pace that is troubling the batters even on the Indian pitches.
