TOSS - The coin goes up and falls in the favour of Sri Lanka. They opt to bowl first.

Hello and welcome to the last match of the T20I series where England will once again lock horns with Sri Lanka. England have already taken an unassailable 2-0 lead and sealed the series. Sri Lanka on the other hand, were beaten comprehensively by the Brits in the first match but gave a tough fight in the second game but only until the rain gods interrupted the game. The onus will be on the experienced batsmen to deliver a match winning performance for Sri Lanka to avoid a 3-0 loss. Will the Three Lions complete a whitewash? Or will the Islanders get a consolation win? We shall find out soon. Please stay tuned for more updates.
