RAJKOT, India (AP) — India won the toss and opted to bat in the third and decisive Twenty20 against Sri Lanka on Saturday.

Sri Lanka evened the three-match series with a 16-run victory in Pune after India won the first game in Mumbai by two runs.

Sri Lanka made one change: batsman Avishka Fernando replaced Bhanuka Rajpaksa in a bid to bolster the lineup. India fielded an unchanged side from the previous game.

The SCA Stadium in Rajkot boasts a bigger ground. While batsmen will enjoy the upper hand, the third T20 might not be a high scoring game.
