India will look to clinch yet another series when they take on Sri Lanka in the third and final T20I at MCA Stadium in Pune tonight. 

In the last T20I, India comfortably beat the Sri Lankans. India's bowling was top class as Jasprit Bumrah and Shardul Thakur bowled tight overs and in the middle Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav and Navdeep Saini picked up wickets and in the end Thakur and Bumrah did the job once again.

In the batting Dhawan, Kohli, Iyer and Rahul all four got runs and it's a good sign for team going forward. On the other hand, Sri Lanka disappointed a lot and captain Lasith Malinga needs to do a lot of work to lift the morale and confidence of his team. Though top order batsmen Avishka Fernando, Kusal Perera and Danushka Gunathikala got starts but they need to convert them and in the bowling only Wanindu Hasaranga created some problems for Indian batsmen and rest couldn't step up.
