TEAMS PREVIEW
Sri Lanka Preview
No one expected Sri Lanka to defeat India in this ODI series. Especially as the home side is without several frontline bowlers and India are almost at full strength. However, they have made perfect use of these slow conditions and made the Indian batsmen struggle. After tying the first game, Sri Lanka produced a terrific effort in the second ODI to win by 32 runs.
Batting first, Sri Lanka found themselves in a precarious position at 136-6 on another slow pitch at the R Premadasa Stadium. However, a crucial 72-run partnership between Wellalage and Mendis revived their innings and helped them post a challenging 240-9. Jeffrey Vandersay's exceptional bowling performance then dismantled India's strong start (97 without loss), restricting them to 208 runs.
Sri Lanka’s batters haven’t got a truckload of runs, but the likes of Pathum Nissanka, Avishka Fernando, and Kusal Mendis are providing valuable contributions at the top on this tough wicket.
Captain Charith Asalanka has led from the front with his bowling, taking 6 wickets already at an economy of 3.29.
Dunith Wellalage has been a revelation, dominating India both with the bat and ball. He has scores of 67* and 39 in this series and has also picked up 2 wickets at 5.33.
With Wanindu Hasaranga unavailable, the Lankans are expected to go with the same eleven. Their spinners are on a roll at the moment and are all set to pose another major challenge to India’s struggling batsmen.
SL Over/Under Betting Tips
After scoring 56 runs in the first ODI, Pathum Nissanka was dismissed on the first ball of the second, falling victim to a superb delivery from Mohammad Siraj. However, Nissanka has been in consistent form, accumulating runs regularly. With the series on the line and considering his recent performance, we predict Nissanka to score over 25.5 runs in today's match.
Sri Lanka Predicted Playing XI:
Pathum Nissanka, Avishka Fernando, Kusal Mendis (wk), Sadeera Samarawickrama, Charith Asalanka (c), Kamindu Mendis, Janith Liyanage, Dunith Wellalage, Akila Dananjaya, Asitha Fernando, Jeffrey Vandersay

India Preview
Team India have been caught napping in this ODI series. The slow, spinning tracks haven’t allowed their batters to hit through the line and they have shown an unusual lack of discipline to stay at the wicket when the going is tough.
Captain Rohit Sharma has led from the front, slamming two consecutive fifties at his usual brisk pace. He has been provided decent by Shubman Gill at the other end, but once the openers have fallen, the middle-order has simply crumbled under pressure.
In the previous two ODIs, India were 75-0 and 97-0 at one point but went to be all out for 230 and 208, respectively.
Experienced batters like Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, and KL Rahul have failed to tackle Sri Lanka’s spinners on this slow track and haven’t looked confident in their stroke-making. That said, these are quality players and we are backing a solid performance from Kohli or Rahul in the last match,
Only spin-bowling all-rounder Axar Patel has shown some fight, with scores of 33 and 44. The left-arm spinner has also claimed 3 wickets.
Rohit might bring in Riyan Parag in place of Shivam Dube or Arshdeep Singh for the final ODI. Parag is a gutsy middle-order batter and he showed in the T20I series that his spin bowling is more than handy on these surfaces.
Mohammed Siraj has been a disappointment too, being unable to stem the flow of runs in the death overs. India will need Kuldeep Yadav, Washington Sundar, and Axar to make the maximum impact if they hope to level the series.
IND Over/Under Betting Tips
Indian captain Rohit Sharma has been in fine form scoring half centuries in the 1st & 2nd ODI. He has piled up 122 runs and with the series on the line, we back Rohit Sharma to continue his good run of form and deliver another match winning performance.
Axar Patel has been a standout performer in the ODI series, making significant contributions with both bat and ball. He's amassed 77 runs, including at least one six in each innings, while also claiming at least one wicket per match.
India Predicted Playing XI:
Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), Shivam Dube/ Riyan Parag, Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Arshdeep Singh

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
The pitch at the R.Premadasa Stadium will be slow and will continue to offer loads of spin and bounce. The best time to bat here is in the first 10 overs when the ball is new and the pitch is a little hard. As the ball gets older, the pitch becomes tougher to bat on. It will spin viciously and grip the surface, especially in the second innings. Batters will need to show solid defense and plenty of application to survive the tough conditions and make runs.
The weather in Colombo during the day of the match will be mostly cloudy, with chances of a thunderstorm in spots. The game might be disrupted for a while, but we should still have a full match.

Winning Prediction
Sri Lanka have a chance of scripting a historical series win over India. They have been the better side overall so far, both in of batting and bowling. They might not have the firepower, but their batters have stuck around and done the job. Their bowlers have exploited these conditions perfectly and have made life hell for India’s batters.
For the star-studded Indian team, this will be an opportunity to challenge themselves. India’s bowling has been decent, although they have let go of the advantage in both ODIs. Their batters will need to show a lot more grit and play according to the situation. The odds are stacked against India this time, given how they have played. However, they are still a quality side, and we reckon they will learn from their mistakes and make a comeback in the final game. This should be another tight contest, but India is likely to prevail.
We are backing India to win this match and level the series 1-1.
