Today we take a look at the top parlay picks for the third T20 international of the Sri Lanka vs India series at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium on July 30.
Team India is on a white-ball tour of Sri Lanka, featuring three T20Is in Pallekele and three ODIs in Colombo. This marks the dawn of a new era for Indian men’s cricket with Gautam Gambhir stepping in as head coach and Suryakumar Yadav taking the reins as captain, following the retirements of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.
India has secured the three-match series with an unassailable 2-0 lead heading into the final game. In the opening match, the visitors triumphed by 43 runs, thanks to a robust batting display. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill provided a solid start with a 74-run partnership in the powerplay, followed by Suryakumar Yadav’s explosive 58 off 26 balls, propelling India to a total of 213. Despite Pathum Nissanka’s 79 off 48 and Kusal Mendis’ 27-ball 45, Sri Lanka’s middle order failed to keep up with the required rate.
In the second match, Sri Lanka began well, posting 54 runs in the powerplay. Kusal Perera’s 53 off 34 set them up for a significant total, but a late collapse saw them manage only 31/7 in the last five overs. After a rain interruption, India chased a revised target of 78 in eight overs with ease, winning with nine balls to spare. Jaiswal scored 30 off 15, Suryakumar added 26 off 12, and Hardik Pandya finished the match with an unbeaten 22 off 9 balls.
There is still plenty to play for in the third T20I on Tuesday as India will be looking to give opportunities to fringe players while Sri Lanka will hope to avoid the clean sweep.
India to win
India to beat Sri Lanka at odds of 1.37 (22Bet)
As far as the head to head record is concerned, India have enjoyed immense success over Sri Lanka in T20 internationals, having won 21 matches compared to 9 by Sri Lanka. India lead the last five encounters by 4-1.
India boasts a formidable batting line-up featuring Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Sanju Samson and Rinku Singh. Their bowling attack comprises the likes of Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Siraj, Axar Patel, and Ravi Bishnoi, and had done excellent job in death overs in the first two games.
Sri Lanka lack firepower and depth in the batting department, and will rely on Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis, Charith Asalanka, and Kusal Perera to deliver. The bowling responsibilities will rest heavily on Matheesha Pathirana, Wanindu Hasaranga, and Maheesh Theekshana.
Considering all the factors, India are more likely to come out on top and you can back them to win this match at odds of 1.37 on 22Bet.
