Pitch Condition:
R.Premadasa Stadium, Colombo
This wicket is expected to be balanced one with spinners getting somewhat extra advantage. Even there is chances of highly spin friendly wicket like the 3rd ODI. In India vs Sri Lanka series wicket was highly spin friendly.
Last 3 T20 matches score:
IND: 164/5, SL: 128 (Pace: 10, Spin: 5)
IND: 132/5, SL: 133/6 (Pace: 6, Spin: 5)

Srilanka Team Preview:
They generally remain inconsistent in the T20I but will be clear favourites on their home ground. Their confidence will be high as they had defeated India in the last T20 series and South Africa in the ODI series.
