Pitch and Conditions

Greenfield Stadium has previously hosted a handful of men’s T20Is, with mixed results for teams batting first. While early games here were tricky, recent matches suggest batting can become easier later on. Cloudy conditions are expected in the evening, with very little chance of rain.

Team News

India are likely to welcome back Deepti Sharma, who missed the second T20I due to a mild fever. Her return strengthens both the spin attack and the lower-order batting. There is a minor concern around Jemimah Rodrigues, who skipped a training session but is being monitored and could still feature. Young spinner Vaishnavi Sharma has impressed and should retain her place.

Sri Lanka are expected to stick with the same combination unless there are last-minute injury issues. Senior players like Hasini Perera and Chamari Athapaththu will be under pressure to deliver more substantial contributions.
