baffling SL seeks a relief from hot India.

In the first T20I, Sri Lanka lost nine innings for 30 works. In the following, they lost seven for 32. This has been the topic for the guests so far in Charith Asalanka's second line as Sri Lanka's full-time T20I captain. In the two activities, Asalanka only managed a score of 0 and 14 overall.

In both games, the best three players fired, with the second innings falling to give Sri Lanka scores of 140 and 80. The line ' top run-scorer is Pathum Nissanka. Kusal Perera has a half-century, while Kusal Mendis made 45 in the first match. But beyond them, it has been a dark displaying, with Kamindu Mendis ' 26 in the next T20I the highest score from the middle and lower purchases.

Sri Lanka may have to find a way out of their middle-order meander and deliver on the system being set by their major purchase.

Sanju Samson, Rinku Singh, and Riyan Parag, who have both sealed the line with strong achievements, deserve more time in the middle.

With a 154.16 strike, Pathum Nissanka is the only flour to have allowed more than 100 runs in the line. He has been in dramatic type in 2024, having scored 753 runs at a strike price of 154.93- also above his career hit rate of 123.90. He shone in the Lanka Premier League as well, and was the highest-scoring opening in the competition. With their unsteady center order, the burden is on him now more than ever to keep producing great appearances with the pitcher.

After a lethal injury, Rishabh Pant made his return to aggressive cricket in IPL 2024, and following a successful campaign, he was picked for the 2024 T20 World Cup. He made 42 off 31 in a low-scoring get over Pakistan, but failed to convert his goes after that, yet as India went on to raise the subject. In the first match of this collection, Pant made 49 off 33, but he had a scratchy launch and was dropped on 11. With Sanju Samson atop Pant in the pecking purchase, Pant must now put his credentials to the test for India in the least format.

Sri Lanka's starting lineup is likely to be comparable to what was used in the following game. Dasun Shanaka, who has three birds in his last three T20Is, may be replaced by one of Avishka Fernando or Dinesh Chandimal. Asalanka claimed roll may benefit more from a used surface, but Romesh was not used in a rain-shortened game, so they brought him in for Dilshan Madushanka. But, even though this match may be played on a new pitch, Sri Lanka are likely to remain with Romesh, as he adds batting level as well.

Sri Lanka ( probable XI ): 1. Pathum Nissanka, 2. Kusal Mendis (wk ), 3. Kusal Perera, 4. Kamindu Mendis, 5. Charith Asalanka ( capt ), 6. Singh Chandimal/Avishka Fernando, 7. Wanindu Hasaranga, 8. Romesh Mendis, 9. Maheesh Theekshana, 10. Matheesha Pathirana, 11. Asitha Fernando

With Khaleel Ahmed waiting in the wings, India may rest one of the rapid bowlers after two games in a row. If India continues to try to offer a match to every club member on a tour as often as possible, as was the case during Rahul Dravid's rule, Washington Sundar might also benefit. Shivam Dube even had come in, but with Hardik Pandya certainly a part of the ODI club, India may only stay with him so as to not trim and change very much. Shubman Gill, who suffered a neck cramp during the next match, is likewise unrelated. With Gill scheduled to play in the first ODI, India might stick with Samson, who missed the second T20I match.

India ( probable XI ): 1. Yashasvi Jaiswal, 2. Sanju Samson, 3. Suryakumar Yadav ( capt ), 4. Rishabh Pant (wk ), 5. Riyan Parag/Washington Sundar, 6. Hardik Pandya, 7. Rinku Singh, 8. Axar Patel, 9. Ravi Bishnoi, 10. Mohammed Siraj, 11. Arshdeep Singh/Khaleel Ahmed

After two games on the same pitch, this activity will be played on a new floor in Pallekele. In the first two games, batting situations were the best earlier on and got tougher as the match progressed, bringing bowlers into play and urging changes of speed from the batsmen. The new pitch is hardly expected to play very differently.

Suryakumar Yadav has been dismissed by Matheesha Pathirana in all three of his T20 starts. In an effort to attack India's skipper earlier than usual, Sri Lanka may be encouraged to present Pathirana.

Unlike in OD Is, where Sri Lanka are Mohammed Siraj's favourite opposition, the fast bowler has struggled against them in T20Is. He percentages 39 against them in the structure, as opposed to 7.68 in OD Is, and has just three innings in four games. His lone innings in this set was of Pathirana, and he would seem to increase his numbers on Tuesday.

Wanindu Hasaranga's 15 batsmen against India are the most he has taken against any criticism. He has twice dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal in this line, and he would make an excellent bowling for the Indians.

" The obvious thing to say is that we do n't have enough power, but that's not true. If you look at our figures this time, we're neck-and-neck with different groups for six-hitting. If you hit it out of the stadium or simply clear the limit, it's also a six. I believe that handling situations and remaining composed in difficult circumstances are more important than knowledge. Thilina Kandamby, the group's batting coach, is concerned about the group's problems.
