Visakhapatnam: An imposing line-up and an impeccable record in the port city of Visakhapatnam make India the clear favourites as they seek to clinch another series win against Sri Lanka in the third and final One-day International on Sunday.

India have not lost a series at home since the defeat to South Africa in October 2015.Sri Lanka, on the other hand, are seeking to win their first ever bilateral series in India, having lost eight and drawn one.

Skipper Rohit Sharma led the fight-back for India in Mohali with a superb double century, his third in ODIs after the team had been outplayed in the series opener in Dharamsala. Sharma and his men will look to ride the momentum after a big win in the second game and seal the series at the ACA-VDCA stadium.

The top-order's performance could prove crucial for the home team if it has to continue its dominance. The visitors, buoyed by news about the availability of ace all-rounder Angelo Mathews for the crucial game, will give it their all to snatch a much-needed series win, in what has been a tough year for them.
