After yet another resounding win for India in the last ODI where India won by 6 wickets and 35 balls to spare, India has taken an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five match series. Now, the cricket fever is set to grip Kolkata on 13th November. The ground is close to the river Hugli due to this the pacers will get some swing. The weather in Kolkata is expected to be warm and humid with maximum temperatures around 33°C and minimum temperature hovering at 21-22°C which is slightly above normal for this time of the year. The humidity levels will be 60% to 70% which will aid light dew formation. Again, the toss will be crucial as the team winning the toss will look to field first.
With India's top order clicking, it will be interesting to see how the Lankan bowlers will respond. They might like to check the rampaging Indian batsmen with some new strategy. With the series already decided, Sri Lanka might like to field some new faces. The big news as far as Sri Lanka is concerned is that Kumar Sangakkara is headed back to Sri Lanka. Mystery spinner Ajantha Mendis makes a comeback to the team.
For India it will be interesting to see whether or not the fringe players will get a chance to showcase their skills. This scenario provides India an excellent opportunity to test out its bench strength.
