India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, 3rd ODI: Rohit Sharma's team will aim to avoid losing the series as they face Sri Lanka in the penultimate match of the 3-match ODI series at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo today.

India lost their advantage in the first ODI, with the match ending in a tie at 1-1 with 14 balls remaining. Sri Lanka outperformed India in the second ODI, securing a 32-run victory. This marks the first time since 1997 that India has failed to win an ODI series in Sri Lanka.

With Colombo's pitch favoring slower bowlers, there is speculation that Shivam Dube might be replaced by Riyan Parag for this match, as Parag could provide valuable support with the ball. Additionally, questions are being raised about Virat Kohli, who has managed only 38 runs across the two matches so far.
