Good Evening, शुभ संध्या, සුබ සැන්දෑවක්! Hello and Welcome to CricketCountry’s live blog session of the one-off Twenty20 International (T20I) betwwen visitors India and hosts Sri Lanka at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Wednesday. I am Vishal Mehra, and I will be bringing to you all the live updates from this tie. India have so far dominated Sri Lanka in both the formats, i.e. Tests and One-Day Internationals (ODIs). They would now shift their focus to the shortest format of the game and aim for a win here to make the tour a grand success with a clean sheet record.

As for Sri Lanka, nothing has gone their way so far. Whitewashed 0-3 in Tests, along with a 0-5 whitewash in ODIs ahs certainly pushed them massively onto the backfoot and has taken a major toll on their confidence. The recurring injuries to a few of their prime players too have been the reason for the underperformance as the Sri Lankan selectors too have decided to resign following this massive collapse against the Indians. However, this T20I is their one chance to step up and show the world that they can rise back up after being hit hard onto the ground. Kohli open, leaving out Rahane?

Squads:

India: Rohit Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane, Virat Kohli (c), Lokesh Rahul, Manish Pandey, MS Dhoni (wk), Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah, Yuzvendra Chahal, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Kedar Jadhavk

Sri Lanka: Niroshan Dickwella (wk), Upul Tharanga (c), Dilshan Munaweera, Angelo Mathews, Milinda Siriwardana, Seekkuge Prasanna, Thisara Perera, Jeffrey Vandersay, Suranga Lakmal, Lasith Malinga, Vikum Sanjaya, Isuru Udana, Wanidu Hasaranga, Dasun Shanaka, Akila Dananjaya.
