TEAMS PREVIEW
New Zealand Preview
New Zealand are proving to be a great ODI team especially in home conditions. They have played 16 ODIs in last five years at home and have lost only one. They have a particularly good record against Sri Lanka in the last two years where the stats are in favor of New Zealand 5-2 with one no-result.
After winning the T20I series 2-1, New Zealand have won both the ODIs in the 3-match ODI series to get an unassailable lead of 2-0 against Sri Lanka. In the first ODI, New Zealand ed a huge win by 9 wickets against Sri Lanka. Winning the toss and bowling first, they restricted Sri Lanka to 178 runs in the 44th over. Matt Henry took 4 wickets for just 19 runs. Nathan Smith and Jacob Duffy shined with 2 wickets each. New Zealand completed the chase for the loss of just one wicket. Rachin Ravindra scored 4-5 while Will Young top-scored with 90 runs.
In the second ODI, New Zealand batted first to 255 runs in 37 overs. The match was reduced to 37 overs aside. Rachin Ravindra and Mark Chapman top scored with 79 and 62 runs respectively. The defence proved to be an easy one as Will O'Rourke and Jacob Duffy shared 5 wickets among them for just 61 runs. Sri Lanka were bundled out for 142 in the 31st over as New Zealand won by a huge margin of 113 runs. With the series already in pocket, New Zealand must be looking for a 3-0 whitewash against Sri Lanka in the last game of the Sri Lanka Tour of New Zealand.

Sri Lanka Preview
Sri Lanka have had a disastrous tour of New Zealand so far. They were here to play three T20 internationals and three ODIs. Having lost the three-match T20I series 1-2 to New Zealand, they have lost the ODI series as well with a match to go after losing the second ODI as well at Hamilton.
In the first ODI, they managed just 178 all-out against New Zealand's balling attack. Avishka Fernando and Janith Liyange scored valuable runs as the rest of the batting lineup crumbled under the pressure. It was an easy win for New Zealand by 9 wickets.
In the second ODI, Sri Lanka elected to field first in a range-shortened game - 37 overs aside. By the time New Zealand's second wicket fell at 143, they had scored at 7 runs and over against Sri Lankan attack. Mahesh Theekshana did pull things back with some lower order wickets. He ended up getting 4 wickets for 44 runs in 8 overs. Wanindu Hasaranga took 2 wickets for 39 runs in 8 overs.
Sri Lankan chase began with losing some quick wickets in the first five overs. They were 4 for 22 in the fifth over. Kamindu Mendis scored valuable 64 runs to arrest the slide but Sri Lanka eventually lost by 113 runs as no other batter could go on to make a big score. Sri Lanka would definitely like to end the tour on high by defeating New Zealand in the third ODI, but the history and the current form suggest it is near impossible for this Sri Lankan team to beat New Zealand in an ODI.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions

Toss: To Bowl
In the 74 ODIs at this venue that ended in outright result, about 60% have been won by the team's bowling first, whereas the rest have been won by the team's batting first. This is typically a New Zealand venue where there is early assistance for the bowlers. The team winning the toss should bowl first here.
NZ vs SL
Winning Prediction
New Zealand already have a series winning lead 2-0 against Sri Lanka at home. They hardly lose ODIs at home. In the last five years, they have lost only one. Their head-to-head record against Sri Lanka is commendable. With the history and the current form, we believe New Zealand have an advantage over Sri Lanka in this third ODI and they will win it to whitewash the opponents at home.
We predict that New Zealand will defeat Sri Lanka.
