India will turn their attention to Sri Lanka after thrashing West Indies in ODI and T20I series at home. It was a clinical performance from the No.1 T20I side as they won all six matches in the white-ball series against the Caribbean outfit. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka suffered defeat at the hands of Australia in the five-match T20I series recently. The visitors managed to pick up only a lone consolation win.
