England v Sri Lanka 3rd ODI – Team News

• Sam Curran – He was in excellent form on his home ground in the previous game. He picked up his first ODI five-for and will be full of confidence for this one.
• Jason Roy – Roy joined Bairstow at the top of the order in the last game after previously sitting out as Liam Livingstone was handed minutes. It will be interesting to see if England experiment more now the series is already won.

England v Sri Lanka 3rd ODI – Betting Tips and Predictions

This looks like being another difficult assignment for Sri Lanka. It is hard to see how they can trouble this England team at present.

Looking at other markets seems the best way to find value bets for this contest given how short England are to take the victory.

Back Woakes for Top Bowler

Chris Woakes was rested for the previous game but could come back into the side again here.

After sitting out the win at the Oval as Tom Curran was given a chance, he should be fresh and firing for this.

He has been in excellent form with four wickets in the first match of the series. Woakes also has a decent record in ODIs at this venue with seven wickets in three previous outings.

His price of 4.32 with 1xBet looks a good price shout he return to the side.

A Hundred Not to be Scored

While England have dominated this ODI series no one has scored a ton.

Batting may be tricky in dull conditions at Bristol and time could be short should play be reduced by rainfall.

A hundred not to be scored is a bigger price than for it to happen in this game.

Backing no century at 2.2 with bet365 looks decent value.

Hasaranga to Get Over 38.5 Performance Points

Wanindu Hasaranga has done well in a struggling Sri Lanka team and can shine again.

The 23-year-old all-rounder struck a half-century in the first ODI and made 26 and took a wicket in the second.

He is priced at 1.832 with 1xBet to reach over 38.5 player performance points.

Remember, he gets 20 points for each wicket, one for every run and 10 for a catch in the field.
