We are in the third and final game of the ODI series and hosts Sri Lank have already won convincingly. In the rain-affected 2nd ODI, the Sri Lankans held their nerves to win the game by 3 wickets. They will aim for a clean sweep and ride on the momentum. The young New Zealand team has struggled on this tour, and they would like to avoid a series of whitewashes and end their Asian tour on a high note.
Sri Lanka has dominated teams at home in the last few series. They have lost only once in the last seven games, boosting the team’s confidence. In contrast, New Zealand has always struggled in Sri Lanka. The batting lineup lacks experience in these conditions. It remains to be seen if the side can put up a strong show in this game and avoid a series whitewash.

Charith Asalanka will be pleased with how his team has gone about this series. They were favorites to win in home conditions and take full advantage of the dusty tracks. The bowling attack has done well for the side, but Asalanka expects a better show from his batsmen as they have struggled against New Zealand’s bowlers.
Pathum Nissanka and Avishka Fernando will look to deliver a good start and take on the Kiwi attack before the ball gets old. Kusal Medis’ knock rescued the side in the last game, and he will look to do well in the middle order with Kamindu Mendis and Charith Asalanka. Sadeera Samarawickrama and Dunith Wellalage must do the big-hitting in the lower middle order.
The bowlers did well in the last game, restricting the Kiwis to a small total. The side expects early strikes from Asitha Fernando and Dunith Wellalage in this game. Maheesh Theekshana has got under the skin of the Kiwis, and he will look to do well in the middle overs with Janith Liyanage. Jeffrey Vandersay and Asalanka must keep up the pressure on the opposition in the ing role.
Mendis has been in exceptional form, smashing 23 fours and averaging 11.5 fours per game in the series. He's dominating the New Zealand bowlers and is the leading run-scorer. Given his current form, we expect Mendis to hit more than 2.5 fours in this match.
The right-arm off-spinner has been the standout bowler for the home team, claiming 2 and 3 wickets in the first two ODIs. With his current form and the pitch aiding spin, we predict Theekshana to take more than 1.5 wickets in the third ODI.
Kusal Mendis has been the standout performer of the series so far, with scores of 143 and 74*. He's the leading run-scorer and has shown exceptional skill against New Zealand's spin attack. We expect Mendis to continue his form and score over 27.5 runs in this match.

Mitchell Santner’s team came to Sri Lanka with high confidence after the historic series win in India. However, it has been a massive wake-up call for the team that fielded several young players in this series. The Kiwis will fight for their pride with the series already in Sri Lanka’s bag. Their batsmen have struggled, and Santner would like to see a better performance from his batters.
The top order hasn’t done well, and the side will need a good show from Will Young and Tim Robinson at the top. Mark Chapman batted well in the last game and must build partnerships with Glenn Phillips and Henry Nicholls in the middle order. Mitchell Santner, Mitch Hay, and Michael Bracewell are good finishers, and their role in this game will be crucial.
The Kiwis have a strong attack and have done well in recent months. In this game, the side will look for early wickets from Jacob Duffy and Mitchell Santner. Michael Bracewell and Ish Sodhi will look to deliver a strong show in the middle overs. The side will also like Glenn Phillis and Nathan Smith to do well in the ing role.
Young is the only Kiwi batter who has shown resilience against the Sri Lankan bowlers. He has scored 48 and 26 runs in the series so far. With the Kiwis fighting to avoid a whitewash, we predict Young to convert his promising starts into a big score, and score over 24.5 runs in today's match.

We would see overcast skies over Pallekele, and rain may cause disruptions. The wicket here has produced lots of runs in the past, as batsmen can play their strokes freely. The average first innings score here is 248 runs. The side batting first would be eying a total of 300 to feel safe.

Pallekele International Cricket Stadium is a big venue. We have seen batsmen score runs as the outfield is fast, and the ball comes to the bat nicely. Fast bowlers do well under cloudy skies and get the ball to move. The wicket here offers lots of assistance to the spinners as the ball grips the surface and turns sharply.
We are favouring the home to win the Coin Toss in the 3rd ODI
With only 11 sixes hit across the first two matches, boundaries have been hard to come by in this series. Both teams have struggled to clear the ropes, leading us to predict another low-scoring match with under 8.5 sixes.
It has been a high-scoring ODI series, with a total of 56 fours hit in the first ODI and 38 fours in the second. The Sri Lankan team is averaging close to 30 fours per game. We predict another high-scoring game with a total of over 44.5 fours.
It is a good wicket to bat on at the start, but it gets slower in the second half. The spinners will be difficult to bat against in the second innings. The side winning the toss would look to take advantage of the conditions by batting first.
New Zealanders have had a poor tour of Sri Lanka, as has been the case with the previous generation of cricketers. Their batsmen haven’t timed the ball well and must make corrections to their approach on these slow tracks. The Sri Lankans have an excellent record at home, and the right bowling attack for these conditions. It makes them favorites.
