Indian skipper Rohit Shamra said after the toss that his team has been tested and challenged in the first two ODIs and they would bounce back with a tremendous vengeance in this match. He said, “Plenty to play for, we’ve been challenged in the last two matches. It’s clear as to what we need to do with the bat and ball. We’ve addressed it – what we need to do as a group. You got to give credit to the opposition, they played well and understood the position well. Another opportunity for us to correct.”
There was one change in the Sri Lankan playing XI from the first two ODIs. Theekshana comes in for Akila Dananjaya.
