colombo,
India would aim to cap off their successful Sri Lanka tour with another ruthless victory in the one-off T20I here tomorrow.

After India whitewashed the hosts 3-0 and 5-0 in the Tests and ODIs, respectively, the game provides India an opportunity to finetune team combination ahead of the upcoming T20 home series against Australia and New Zealand. India would play nine T20Is this home season and all contests will be three-match series. India are on an experimentation drive ahead of the 2019 50-over World Cup and one name they could have tried here is Rishabh Pant, who was not named in the squad.

The Indian team enjoyed an additional off day ahead of the game and did not practise. Sri Lanka have made a few changes to their original T20I squad after suffering the 5-0 whitewash in the ODIs. Leg-spinner Jeffrey Vandersay and seam-bowling all-rounder Dasun Shanaka are prominent additions.

Pacer Suranga Lakmal makes a comeback after injury, as he had been ruled out ahead of the second Test in August. Mystery spinner Akila Dananjay has also been added to the squad. Surprisingly, left-arm Lakshan Sandakan has been left out of the squad. Pacers Vishwa Fernando and Dushmantha Chameera have also been left out after unimpressive showings in the ODI series. Lasith Malinga has been picked again, however. The spotlight will be on skipper Upul Tharanga, though. This will be his first T20I match in charge after Angelo Mathews gave up captaincy after the loss to Zimbabwe prior to the Indian tour.
