Bangladesh v Sri Lanka 3rd ODI – Match Preview

Bangladesh have already wrapped up the series after winning the previous two ODIs at this venue. They are targeting the whitewash now and look in a strong position to get it.

Where: Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium, Mirpur, Dhaka

When: Friday, 28 May 2021

Start time: 12:30 IST (07:00 GMT)

Pitch conditions: While there has been success for teams batting second here at times, expect the skipper that wins the toss to bat first and look to put a good score on the board. Mirpur tends to help spin bowlers and that can be a factor again.

Weather conditions: It is set to be a warm but overcast day in Dhaka. Despite that cloud cover, there is only a very small chance it will rain.

Bangladesh v Sri Lanka 3rd ODI – Team News

• Mushfiqur Rahim – The wicketkeeper smashed a marvelous century in the 2nd ODI following an impressive 84 in the game before. He will be targeting more runs here.
• Shakib Al Hasan – The all-rounder has failed to fire with the bat since his return from the postponed IPL. He hit 15 in the first game before falling for a duck in the second. He has taken three wickets, though.
• Mehidy Hasan Miraz – The young spinner has underlined how much he enjoys this venue by bagging seven wickets in the last two ODIs. That takes his overall Dhaka record to 18 wickets in his last eight matches.
• Dushmantha Chameera – The Sri Lanka pace bowler did well in the previous game when taking three wickets. He will be keen to add to that tally in this final contest of the series.
• Danushka Gunathilaka – The opener will be keen to kick on in this fixture after failing to build on his starts in the last two matches. His partnership with Kusal Perera will be key to his team’s chances.
• Dhananjaya de Silva – The spinner did well in the first game when taking three wickets at this venue but will be disappointed to draw a blank last time out.

Bangladesh v Sri Lanka 3rd ODI – Betting Tips and Prediction

Our expert writers have put together their top betting tips for this fixture.

These are based on the form of the players and aim to highlight the best odds on offer ahead of this third and final ODI of the series.

Back Mehidy Hasan for Top Bowler

Mehidy Hasan Miraz really excels at this venue and looks like a great bet to pick up the Bangladesh top bowler award.

The 23-year-old spinner picked up three wickets in the last game to add to the four he secured in the first ODI. His overall total at Dhaka reads 18 wickets in eight matches.

His price of 4.32 with 1xBet to be his team’s leading wicket-taker is far too big to ignore, especially with conditions to suit once again.

Gunathilaka is a Value Option

Danushka Gunathilaka has been able to get decent starts to his last two innings but just hasn’t been able to push on at the crucial time.

However, backing the Sri Lankan opener to be his team’s top batsman looks a decent value play.

The 30-year-old left-hander did well in the ODI series against the West Indies and could finally forge on at the top of the order here.

Those around him are also short of form and it might not take much for him to land this bet at 5.0 with bet365.

Bangladesh to Have Highest Opening Partnership

While Gunathilaka might finally push on at the top of the order for Sri Lanka, a formidable partnership still looks a way off for the visitors.

Kusal Perera is really struggling for form and siding with Bangladesh to have a better opening combination seems the way to go.

Tamim Iqbal didn’t fire in the last game but he was in good form prior to that and it would be no surprise to see him hit back.

Liton Das will be disappointed with his contribution this series but has the ability to score quickly.

Bangladesh are priced at 1.8 with bet365 to have the highest opening partnership.
