New Delhi: After coming up with disappointing results in back-to-back ODIs, Indian cricket will look to pull back a victory in the decisive 3rd ODI. Sri Lanka is on the verge of creating history by winning the decider and ending the 28-year-old record of failing to register a clean sweep against the India team.

Playing in rack turners, Indiaβs batting unit has been a big letdown for the entire team. Apart from Rohit Sharma, none of the batters have been able to make any significant contributions to the team which includes batsmen like Virat Kohli, KL Rahul and others.

India vs Sri Lanka: Pitch conditions
The Colombo pitch has been traditionally a rack-turning pitch with spinners getting a lot of purchase on offer. Naturally, this pitch will be no different from the previous one. The weather is expected to be slightly cloudy covering the sky. However, there is no chance that the game is gonna be washed out for the same reasons.
