India vs Sri Lanka 3rd ODI Live Cricket Score Updates: Shikhar Dhawan will be leading the Indian side for a clean sweep.India vs Sri Lanka 3rd ODI Live Cricket Score Online: Shikhar Dhawan won the toss and elected to bat first. India have six changes in the side including five debutants — Sanju Samson, Nitish Rana, Chetan Sakariya, Krishnappa Gowtham, Rahul Chahar. The sixth change in Navdeep Saini replacing Bhuvneshwar Kumar. India won the first game comfortably by seven wickets whereas Deepak Chahar pulled off a heist in the second game with his match-winning unbeaten 69 helping visitors win by three wickets.
With the series already in the bag, the team may rest ‘Kulcha’ (Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal) and play the young guns, with Krunal as the third spinner. For Sri Lanka, a win in the final game would help them gain confidence ahead of the three-match T20I series.
Short ball does the trick again. Dushmantha Chameera takes the last wicket of the innings. Navdeep Saini departs after scoring 15 runs. IND 225 all out in 43.1 overs (47 overs per side)
Rahul Chahar tries to take on the short delivery but barely got it a few yards away from him. Bowler Chamika Karunaratne completes the catch and breaks the partnership. Chahar departs after scoring 13 runs. Chetan Sakariya is the new batsman in. IND 225/9 after 43 overs
With five more overs to go, both Rahul Chahar and Navdeep Saini have scored in double-digits now (13 runs). We may see some unexpected shots in the last five overs. 250 is well within reach here if India don't get bundled out. IND 222/8 after 42 overs
Rahul Chahar takes the chance too early in his innings and almost loses his wicket. Chahar needs to follow in his brother's footsteps and take his time before hitting big shots. On the other hand, Navdeep Saini is safely negotiating with the spinners. IND 209/8 after 38 overs
Navdeep Saini and Rahul Chahar are trying to survive out there. At this point, India would like to play the full 47 overs. Just so you know, Saini's highest score in ODIs is 45 (against New Zealand). On the other hand, Rahul Chahar is yet to prove himself at the international stage or as a batter in IPL. Sri Lanka want to wrap this up quickly as Dasun Shanaka is attacking with spinners with slips in place. IND 202/8 after 36 overs
Akila Dananjaya gets second wicket in his seventh over. India suffer major batting collapse after the rain interruption. Debutant Nitish Rana departs for 7. Now, even 250 seems unrealistic. Navdeep Saini is the new batsman. IND 195/8 after 33 overs
Krishnappa Gowtham unnecessarily wasted a review despite being absolutely plumb. Akila Dananjaya bowled a loopy leg spinner that hit Gowtham on the front pad. A soft dismissal for the debutant as he departs after scoring just 2 runs. Dananjaya gets his second wicket. IND 194/7 after 32.3 overs
Suryakumar Yadav struggled as wickets fell from the other end. Surya gets trapped by Akila Dananjaya in front of the stumps. He departs after scoring 40 from 37 balls. Third batsman for India gets out in 40s. Krishnappa Gowtham walks into the middle. India need a partnership to post a total in excess of 270 here. IND - 190/6 after 31 overs
Another wicket for left-arm spinner Praveen Jayawickrama. A huge shout for lbw but the umpire said no. Sri Lankan went for DRS and the ball would have clearly hit the stumps. A big wicket for Sri Lanka. Pandya departs after scoring 19 from 17 deliveries. IND 179/5 after 28.3 overs
Hardik Pandya is in attacking mode. The all-rounder has scored three boundaries already after facing 10 deliveries. India need one of their main batsman to stay till the end to post a big total. IND 176/4 after 27 overs
Once again, Manish Pandey fails to make the most of the opportunity. Pandey gets out trying to drive the ball spinning away from him. Praveen Jayawickrama picks up his second wicket. IND 157/4 after 24.5 overs
The play finally resumes and Suryakumar Yadav is still hitting the ball like he has been there for a while. Surya hits two boundaries from Dushmantha Chameera's over. With rain likely to play spoilsport again, India may look to score quickly. IND 155/3 after 24 overs
The rain interruption has caused overs in this third ODI. It will be a 47-overs per side game now and DLS is bound to come into play. The play will resume at 6:30 PM IST.
Rain has stopped in Colombo and the covers have come off. The groundsmen are doing their job and the first innings is expected to resume soon. Meanwhile, you can follow the Tokyo 2020 opening ceremony here.
As expected, rain interrupts play in Colombo. It may just be a passing shower as per the commentators. Expect a delay in proceedings. DLS may play a major role in the outcome of today's game as this can be the first of many passing showers. IND 147/3 after 23 overs
After a long delay in ball tracking, Suryakumar Yadav gets saved by the DRS. Umpire Dharamsena had given Surya out as he was going for a sweep against Parveen Jayawickrama and missed the ball. Sri Lankans celebrated by Dharamsena called Surya back to the middle as the third umpire asked him to change his decision. A lot of confusion in the middle but no harm caused. Meanwhile, the aggressive batsman is at his usual self whereas Manish Pandey is playing the anchor role. IND 147/3 after 23 overs
After playing himself in, Sanju Samson misses half-century on ODI debut. Samson makes room for himself and tries to go inside out but could not clear the fielder inside the circle. Left-arm spinner Praveen Jayawickrama gets his first wicket. This is exactly what Sri Lanka needed, two new batsmen in the middle. Manish Pandey and Suryakumar Yadav have a lot of rebuilding to do. IND 120/3 after 19 overs
Prithvi Shaw misses his maiden ODI fifty by just one run. Shaw plays across a straight delivery and gets trapped in front of the stumps. The opener used DRS but it goes in vain. Sri Lankan skipper Dasun Shanaka breaks the partnership in his first over. Meanwhile, there are dark clouds hovering over the stadium. The forecast showed rain may play spoilsport but not this early into the match. IND 102/2 after 15.5 overs
The second-wicket partnership between Prithvi Shaw and Sanju Samson is now over 50. The run rate is over 6 runs per over and both batsmen have got good starts. A platform for a big score has already been laid. Sri Lanka need wickets to put pressure on India. IND 82/1 after 13 overs
End of first powerplay. This passage of play clearly belonged to India despite the wicket of skipper Shikhar Dhawan. Sanju Samson danced down the track and hit spinner Akila Dananjaya for a maximum straight over his head. IND 66/1 after 10 overs
