Match preview sl vs ind, 3rd ODI, india tour of sri lanka, 2024

In the third and final ODI of the current series, the Indian cricket team plays Sri Lanka on Wednesday, August 7, with the goal of avoiding a series loss.

India trailed 1-0 in the series after losing the second ODI on Sunday, August 4, by 32 runs, after a thrilling draw in the opening match. Due to this outcome, India will not be able to win the series, which will be the first time in 27 years that they have lost a bilateral ODI series against Sri Lanka.

August 1997 marked the last time Sri Lanka triumphed over India in an ODI series. The Rohit Sharma-led team will try to make big changes to their playing XI with the series on the line, particularly in the batting area.
