New Delhi: India sealed the T20I series 2-1 under Hardik Pandya’s captaincy, but the format and the scheme of things are a lot different now as both teams are gearing up for the upcoming World Cup. Rohit Sharma is back in his role as a skipper and played a captains knock of 83 off 67, along with Gill who scored 70 off 60 to give India a good start. Seeing the flat pitch, both batters attacked and dealt in boundaries.

After the openers departed, it was Kohli who took on the attack. His 90 runs partnership off just 70 balls with KL Rahul was crucial to take India to a big total. Meanwhile, Kohli’s dropped catch made Sri Lanka suffer a lot and a few misfields here and there could be a contributor if the game goes close.

Here is the prediction for the game.
