<p>IND vs SL: The first two matches in the ongoing<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/ind-vs-sl-with-a-disastrous-performance-from-the-middle-order-what-will-be-jayasuriyas-ploy-in-the-2nd-t20i/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/ind-vs-sl-with-a-disastrous-performance-from-the-middle-order-what-will-be-jayasuriyas-ploy-in-the-2nd-t20i/"> IND vs SL T20 series </a>have ended in India's favour, as the visitors have outplayed the hosts completely in both games. Team India have bagged yet another T20I series.</p>



<p>Now the third and final game of the series is scheduled to take place on Tuesday (July 30) at the similar venue, Pallekele International Cricket Stadium. India might look to make some changes in their playing XI. Some players have not gotten a game, and they are expected to come in.</p>



<p>That might give Sri Lanka an edge in this match. The hosts will hope that they can avoid the series whitewash. We also have some player battles to watch out for in the third IND vs SL game, which will make this match interesting.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">1.?<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/suryakumar-yadav-on-verge-big-record/">Suryakumar Yadav</a>?vs Matheesha Pathirana</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/07/IND-vs-SL-3-Key-Player-battles-to-watch-out-for-in-2nd-T20-1024x532.webp" alt="IND vs SL 3 Key Player battles to watch out for in 2nd T20" class="wp-image-144833" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IND vs SL</figcaption></figure>



<p>The Indian captain <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/suryakumar-yadav-on-verge-big-record/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/suryakumar-yadav-on-verge-big-record/">Suryakumar Yadav</a> has scored most runs for India in the IND vs SL series. He has made 84 runs at an average of 42 and a blistering strike rate of 221.05. Definitely, he will be a big wicket in the game.</p>



<p>As he has shown in the two games, he has varities of sweep shots, which he is playing pretty well against the Sri Lankan spinners. So it will be important to get him out early.</p>



<p>Sri Lanka have used <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matheesha_Pathirana" data-type="link" data-id="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matheesha_Pathirana">Matheesha Pathirana</a> well against him. The pacer has dismissed the Indian captain in both games. So that will be important. If Pathirana gets him early, India will be under pressure.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2. Pathum Nissanka vs Ravi Bishnoi</h3>



<p>Pathum Nissanka has been in red-hot form and is the leading scorer in the IND vs SL T20 series. He has scored 111 runs at an average of 55.50 and a strike rate of 154.17.</p>



<p>His runs have given Sri Lanka something to fight in the game. He has done well against the pacers but got out to spinners in two games.</p>



<p>Nissanka struggled against Ravi Bishnoi in the last game and got out. Bishnoi bowls quicker and gets the ball to turn. That might put Nissanka under doubt. So this will be an important battle in <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/ind-vs-sl-sanju-a-flop-show-should-sanju-samson-be-picked-ahead-of-gill-in-t20s-parag-and-rinku-are-to-be-sent-a-bit-early-in-the-gambhir-era/">IND vs SL game</a>.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">3. Yashasvi Jaiswal vs Wanindu Hasaranga</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/07/IND-vs-SL_-Three-Player-battle-to-Watch-out-for-in-the-3rd-T20I-1024x532.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-144932" /></figure>



<p>Yashavi Jaiswal has been in blistering form. He is not playing big innings, but he is playing cameos at the top, which are giving the team good starts. His 15-ball 30 in the rain-hit second match put India ahead.</p>



<p>That's what helped India to win the game. Jaiswal will be very important in the third match as well. But he has gotten out to Wanindu Hasaranga in both matches.</p>



<p>That's what will be in his mind as well. Hasaranga has deceived him well, and Jaiswal is not reading him completely. So he needs to worry about the Sri Lankan leg-spinner.</p>
