Hello and welcome to CricketCountry’s live coverage of the fourth T20I of the Nidahas Trophy. India will take on Sri Lanka in both sides’ third encounter in the tournament. We will provide you with live updates and interesting tweets from the social space for this contest. With all three teams — India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh — tied on 2 points (by virtue of 1 win and 1 loss each), the tournament has reached a crucial stage ahead of the second leg of the group stage. With regular skipper (for the series) Dinesh Chandimal suspended for 2 matches due to slow over-rate, India would feel they have the best chance to turn the tides against hosts, after their first T20I loss.
From Sri Lanka’s perspective, they do not need to press the panic button. Stand-in captain Thisara Perera has been in good form since Chandika Hathurasingha’s appointment as head coach. With extra responsibility, he will be eager to maintain momentum and take Sri Lanka to the final. It is believed that Team India is willing to try the likes of Mohammad Siraj, KL Rahul and Deepak Hooda. It will be interesting to see who misses out if India opt for a new lineup.
