England<\/strong> and Sri Lanka<\/strong> are set to face each other in the third and final T20I of the series at Emirates Old Trafford in Manchester. England have dominated the opening two matches and will now look to complete a clean sweep, while Sri Lanka will be aiming to end the series on a positive note.<\/p>\n England have won both matches comfortably and have looked strong with both bat and ball. Harry Brook<\/strong><\/a> leads the series run-scoring charts with 137 runs, while Liam Dawson<\/strong> has been their standout bowler with five wickets. Tom Banton<\/strong> also produced a match-winning performance in the second T20I, smashing 52 off 24 balls as England chased down 146 with six wickets in hand.<\/p>\n Sri Lanka, meanwhile, have struggled to match England\u2019s intensity with the bat. Pathum Nissanka<\/strong> is their leading run-scorer with 49 runs, while Wanindu Hasaranga<\/strong> has taken two wickets. The visitors managed only 145 for 9 in the second T20I and will need a significant improvement if they are to prevent another defeat.<\/p>\n ENG vs SL, 3rd T20I: Match Details<\/strong><\/p>\n Matches played:<\/strong> 20 | ENG won:<\/strong> 16 | SL won:<\/strong> 4<\/p>\n The surface at Emirates Old Trafford is expected to offer an interesting contest between bat and ball in the third T20I. The pitch can become easier for batting as the innings progresses, making the second half of the game potentially more favourable for stroke-makers. Spinners could play a major role at the venue, particularly because of the larger boundary dimensions.<\/p>\n The extra protection offered by the boundaries may encourage them to flight the ball and invite batters to take risks in search of big shots. Teams winning the toss could therefore prefer to bowl first and make use of the conditions before assessing how the pitch behaves later in the game. Batters who spend some time at the crease should have opportunities to accelerate once they understand the surface.<\/p>\n England:<\/strong> Harry Brook (c), Jos Buttler (w), Aneurin Donald, Tom Banton, Jordan Cox, Will Jacks, Jamie Overton, Jofra Archer, Liam Dawson, Sonny Baker, Adil Rashid, Saqib Mahmood, Josh Tongue, Gus Atkinson, James Coles, Ben Duckett<\/p>\n Sri Lanka:<\/strong> Charith Asalanka (c), Pathum Nissanka, Lahiru Udara, Kamil Mishara (w), Kamindu Mendis, Dasun Shanaka<\/strong><\/a>, Wanindu Hasaranga, Tharindu Ratnayake, Dushmantha Chameera, Eshan Malinga, Dilshan Madushanka, Dunith Wellalage, Pavan Rathnayake, Maheesh Theekshana, Janith Liyanage, Nuwan Thushara<\/p>\n Also READ: Jos Buttler scripts history as England seal T20I series against Sri Lanka<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Case 1:<\/strong><\/p>\n Case 2:<\/strong><\/p>\n Match Result: Team bowling first to win the match.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
