Sri Lanka v India 3rd ODI – Team News

• Wanindu Hasaranga – The Sri Lanka spinner was been in decent form this series and finally had wickets to show for his efforts in the last game. Conditions could suit again.
• Avishka Fernando – The openers bagged a half-century in the previous contest and will want to build on that in this third and final ODI outing.
• Suryakumar Yadav – The talented India batsman also made a half-century for his side after they had lost early wickets. He had also impressed in IPL 2021 before this series.
• Yuzvendra Chahal – The RCB spinner has relished conditions in Colombo and added three in the last game. He can have another impact in this fixture. 
• Ishan Kishan – It is hard to know what you are going to get from the dynamic young wicketkeeper-batsman. He is just as likely to fall early as he is to smash a quick-fire 50. He’s dangerous if India can give him a foundation.

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

Discover our best tips for this match. These are based on the form of the players and the best odds offered by India top bookies.

Chahal for Top Bowler

Yuzvendra Chahal has really flourished in these conditions and another game at this venue plays into his hands even more.

The RCB man struggled at the start of this year’s IPL but looks back to his best at the moment.

He has five wickets in the last two matches and looks a great bet to maintain that form.

Chahal is available at 4.0 with 1xBet to be India’s top bowler in this match.

Ranasinghe is a Value Play

Minod Bhanuka Ranasinghe has been solid at the top of the order, making starts in the last two matches.

He hit 27 and 36 in the previous ODIs of this series and could be ready to kick on to make a bigger score.

There has not been much between the Sri Lanka top three this series in terms of runs scored and Bhanuka certainly offers value.

He can be backed at 6.0 with 1xBet to be his team’s top run-scorer.

Padikkal Can Take his Chance

Now that India have the series in the bag, we could see them make a few changes to their line-up.

One option would be to hand Devdutt Padikkal an opportunity at the top of the order in place of Prithvi Shaw.

He was excellent in both the IPL and Vijay Hazare Trophy and would be an appealing bet if he is given a chance.

Padikkal can be backed at 5.1 with 20Bet to be India’s top batsman.
