India will take on Sri Lanka in a Nidahas Trophy T20 Tri-series Cricket at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo today. The match will begin at 7 PM Indian time.
The tournament is currently evenly poised as all the three teams have won a game each from two outings but Sri Lanka are leading the table on net run rate ahead of India and Bangladesh. A win today would take India to the top, dislodging the
Lankans.
India's second string squad, being led by stand-in skipper Rohit Sharma, lost by five wickets against the hosts in the opening match. But the Indian team bounced back strongly to beat Bangladesh by six wickets in their next match.
Sri Lanka, on the other hand, upset by the shocking five-wicket loss to Bangladesh on Saturday night, would be hoping for an improved show today.
