Team India is currently trailing 0-1 in the series. The Indian team had to face defeat by 32 runs in the second ODI. While the first match was a tie. Now to avoid losing the series, Team India will have to win the third match at any cost.
The role of toss will be important
Spinners have performed brilliantly in the first two matches on the pitch of Colombo’s R Premadasa Stadium. In the second ODI, Jeffrey Vandersay proved to be a nightmare for Team India and he took 6 wickets. The team batting first on the Colombo pitch can get an advantage, because the pitch slows down later. The pitch is also likely to slow down in the third ODI. In such a situation, the role of the toss can be important. Sri Lanka won the toss in the first two ODIs. The team winning the toss would want to bat first, because batting later becomes difficult.
