India vs Sri Lanka 2020: Complete time-table, when and where to watch, live streaming and telecast details

Sri Lanka are visiting India on a very short trip where they will be playing three T20Is. India would be high on confidence after beating a quality West Indies side in a hard-fought T20I series recently.

Sri Lanka, on the other hand, got whitewashed the last time they played a T20I series against Australia. So, they would be coming into this series under a little bit of pressure.

Although Sri Lanka’s performance in India in any format of the game hasn’t been impressive in recent times, they have particularly struggled in the shortest format. Out of the eight T20Is that Sri Lanka have played against India in India, they have won just two and lost six.

While India are a properly settled unit in the T20I format, Sri Lanka are still figuring out who their best T20 players are. There is a lot of experimentation going on, with plenty of young players in and around the group.

India won't have much of a home advantage condition-wise as Sri Lanka are used to the same sort of conditions and same type of pitches at home as well. It’s more about quality than anything else, and quality-wise, there seems to be a big gulf between the two teams at the moment.

However, when Sri Lanka played Pakistan in Pakistan earlier this year, everyone wrote them off ahead of that series as well. But they pulled off a shocking 3-0 clean sweep against Pakistan in their own backyard.

Sri Lanka have got a few talented players who can change the game, but it remains to be seen if they can consistently trouble the Men in Blue in India.
