SL Playing 11 for New Zealand vs Sri Lanka 3rd ODI; Top Picks, Fantasy Cricket Tips For NZ vs SL Dream11 Team Prediction

New Zealand won the first match of the ODI series against Sri Lanka with an impressive display. However, many key players have departed to participate in IPL which gives Sri Lanka a chance to level the series in the third and final match scheduled to take place on Friday, March 31, at Seddon Park in Hamilton.

Sri Lanka bowlers were on the spot in 1st ODI. Chamika Karunaratne took four wickets, while Lahiru Kumara and Kasun Rajitha picked up two wickets each as they restricted the hosts to 274. 

However, the visitors struggled to get going with the bat, with only three of their batters managing to score in double digits. The Dasun Shanaka-led side was particularly weak, as they failed to make an impact against New Zealand’s bowling attack. 

Sri Lanka will need to put up a better performance in the final match to have a chance of winning.

New Zealand vs Sri Lanka Dream11 Prediction

Here are the best fantasy cricket picks for the match from SL

• Wanindu Hasaranga had an off day on the field in the 1st ODI. He couldn’t take a wicket and got dismissed in the previous match. However, he will be motivated to make a statement in the 3rd ODI.

• Chamika Karunaratne was the pick of the bowlers for Sri Lanka in the first ODI. Karunaratne picked a four-fer and helped the visitors to restrict New Zealand under 300. Despite the loss, he will be confident of a good performance in the 3rd ODI.
