The third T20I between Sri Lanka and India is set to take place at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Thursday.
A depleted Indian unit couldn't get the better of Sri Lanka in the previous game. However, Shikhar Dhawan and co. will look to seal a memorable series win with an imperative performance on Thursday. But they will come against a rejuvenated Sri Lankan team, who will head into the game as the clear favorites.

Today's IND vs SL Dream11 match top picks
Wicket-keeper
Sanju Samson: Sanju Samson has shown glimpses of why he is so highly rated in the series. However, Samson is due for some big runs and could well come good in the final T20I.
Batsmen
Devdutt Padikkal: Although Devdutt Padikkal was solid on debut, he couldn't convert a promising start. Given his hunger for big runs, he could be a brilliant addition to your IND vs SL Dream11 team.
Avishka Fernando: Despite starring in the ODIs, Avishka Fernando has failed to fire at the top of the order for Sri Lanka in the T20Is. With his side eyeing a big win, Fernando will be key to their fortunes on Thursday.
All-rounders
Wanindu Hasaranga: Sri Lanka's star all-rounder, Wanindu Hasaranga, was in fine form in the previous game. He will be looking to end the series on a high, making him a popular pick for the game.
Bowlers
Bhuvneshwar Kumar: Indian vice-captain Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been in brilliant form in the T20 format this year. Watch out for his deadly yorkers and decisive swing bowling against the Sri Lankans.
Varun Chakravarthy: Varun Chakravarthy has taken to international cricket quite nicely with 1/28 and 1/18 in his two outings so far. Given the nature of the pitch, Varun should prove to be a handful for the Sri Lankans.
