Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh  3rd ODI| Team Prediction |, Team News, Playing11 |Match Preview

A memorable series whitewash win for Sri Lanka will get their campaign going in great fashion for future matches. The Lions look in incredibly good form owing an attack to some of their new crop of bowlers which really hurt the Tigers, ending a long-awaited dream of winning a maiden series in Sri Lanka. The dearth of their star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan and regular skipper Mashrafe Mortaza was felt throughout the series which will play its 3rd and last ODI on 31st of July. The post-Malinga era for Sri Lanka will also feature a farewell for another one of its fast bowlers, namely Nuwan Kulasekara, who announced his retirement from international cricket. Although the series has already been won by the Lankans with two back to back wins, Bangladesh will look to steady the situation which corresponds in the direction of the generic enmity between Bangladesh’s rise and Sri Lanka’s fall in cricket in the recent times. Lankans have won their previous game by 7 wickets with some spectacular batting chase from the likes of Fernando and Mathews. A win here for Bangladesh would surely pep up their mood but only as a consolation.

3rd ODI (D/N), Bangladesh tour of Sri Lanka at Colombo (RPS), Jul 31, 2019

R.Premadasa Stadium, Khettarama, Colombo

Conditions:

Speckled thunderstorms are the forecast for Wednesday. Apart from the previous game, the last three matches at this ground have produced first innings scores of around, or over, 300, so the team bagging the toss may still want to bat first.

Pitch report:

The pitch is slower in nature which has forced sides to field an extra spinner. Nevertheless, it is still an appropriate wicket to bat on for the likes of Kusal Mendis and Angelo Mathews providing a master class on how to bat on such wickets in the previous game.
