Background

The third and final match of the three-match ODI series between India and Sri Lanka will be played on July 23 at the R Premadasa Cricket Stadium in Colombo.  Under the leadership of Shikhar Dhawan, Team India captured the series 2-0 and will take the field in the third match with the intention of a clean sweep.
