    With the series on the line, India will look to put up a clinical act in the third and final T20I against Sri Lanka on January 7. The hosts failed to chase a 207-run target, thereby succumbing to a 16-run defeat. Meanwhile, skipper Dasun Shanaka (56*) shone as SL grabbed their maiden away win over India in T20Is since 2016. Here is the preview.

    Pitch report, timing, and broadcast details

    The Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot will hold this affair. The venue averages a first innings total of 179 across four matches played here. Chasing sides have won on two occasions. Pacers can be influential compared to spinners. The match can be watched live on Star Sports Network and live-streamed on the Hotstar app (7:00 PM IST).

    Can India draw level in Rajkot?

    SL overpowered India to level the three-match series 1-1. Kusal Mendis and Dasun Shanaka scored fifties each in the previous game. The duo will be banked to emulate their heroics. For India, Suryakumar Yadav carries the scoring reins. Openers Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan can't come up short. Pacer Umran Malik can be a game-changer with the ball. All-rounder Axar Patel is a must-see.

    A look at the key performers (T20Is)

    Suryakumar Yadav has slammed 1,466 runs at 43.11. He struck a sublime 36-ball 51 in the second outing. Axar Patel has amassed 267 runs and 36 wickets across 39 matches. He picked two wickets in the last game, followed by a 31-ball 65. Dasun Shanaka's last five scores against India: 56*, 45, 33*, 74*, and 47*. Umran Malik has clipped seven scalps at 26.71.

    Here's the head-to-head record 

    India enjoy an 18-9 win-loss record against the Lankans in the format (NR: 1). At home, the Men in Blue boast a 12-3 record (NR: 1).
