Sri Lanka Team News & Playing 11
Team News
The Sri Lankan team is currently free from injury concerns as all its players are in good shape. The selectors are unlikely to make changes in the side for the third T20 international.
Key Players
Sri Lanka's batting will depend a lot on Danushka Gunathilaka and Dilshan Munaweera's performances. If these two get going, it will become easier for the middle order to accelerate toward the end of the innings. Thisara Perera is a genuine allrounder and he will have a big role to play with both bat and ball. Vikum Sanjaya and Seekkuge Prasanna have done a decent job so far for their team and it will be up to these two bowlers to apply pressure on the Pakistani batsmen.

Pakistan vs Sri Lanka 3rd T20 Prediction
Pakistan undoubtedly have been the more dominant side since the start of the limited-overs leg of Sri Lanka's tour. They have successfully exploited the chinks in the Lankan armoury and their bowlers have wreaked havoc on their batting lineup. The visitors have seem to run out of ideas and they are just going through the motions, hoping for the hosts to make errors. Pakistan will be playing against an international team in their own country after so many years and they will be keen to win in front of the home crowd. We thus predict them to emerge victors in this match.
Final Verdict: Back Pakistan to beat Sri Lanka in the third T20 international.
