Today the third ODI match is to be played between India and Sri Lanka in Colombo. The Indian team arrived here with many young players as most of the senior players are present to play the Test series in England. In such a situation, it was expected that the Sri Lankan team would give some competition to India in the ODI series but after winning two consecutive ODIs, India have taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in this three-match series and now the youth led by Shikhar Dhawan. The team will go for a 3-0 clean sweep in the series.

Team India defeated Sri Lanka by 7 wickets in the first ODI match. Whereas in the second ODI there was an exciting match. A match that fans will hardly ever forget. Sri Lanka scored 275 runs for the loss of 9 wickets in that match, but the Indian team, who came out to answer, had lost their 7 wickets within 193 runs. Deepak Chahar (69 not out) and to some extent, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who supported him on the pitch, did the job of converting the seemingly sure defeat into victory. Both helped India win by 3 wickets in 49.1 overs.
