IND vs SL Playing 11 Preview
Welcome to our IND vs SL 3rd ODI preview. With the game in Vizag perfectly set, the encounter is sure going to be exciting. This is our go at probable playing XI for India vs Sri Lanka 3rd ODI.
While the first match was about the fast bowlers of Sri Lanka, the second was about Indian batting powers. In assisting conditions, Sri Lankans bowled beautifully, and India were left with the questions.
In second ODI, each of the questions were answered. Rohit Sharma’s exceptional feat made sure that India is alive in the series, that too with an upper hand.
The 3rd and deciding ODI, at Vizag would welcome India as the favorites. But they have shown their weaknesses of ball moving horizontally. That would be the biggest challenge for them.

1st Innings Average Score : Runs
2nd Innings Average Score : Runs
Rohit Sharma : The kind of form that he exhibited in the last ODI, made sure that he’s in no mood for mercy. He’ll continue where he left in the 3rd ODI.
Angelo Mathews : He opens the bowling for Sri Lanka. Only for one spell, but he may get wickets there. He’s most experienced batsmen for SL, too. That makes Mathews a good all-round option.
India : Rohit Sharma (c), S Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer, D Karthik, Manish Pandey, MS Dhoni, H Pandya, Washington Sundar, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, J Bumrah, Y Chahal, Ajinkya Rahane, Axar Patel, Siddarth Kaul, Kuldeep Yadav

India :
With a win like that, any team would want to go unchanged. But there is a possibility of dropping Washington Sundar, after a look at the pitch.
Sri Lanka :
With Mathews only able to bowl one spell, SL has no choice but to play an extra bowler. There is a chance they may go unchanged. One change is expected from Sri Lankan side that is S Samarawickrama can came in place of Lahiru Thirimanne.
