IND vs SL 3rd ODI Match Today: Match Preview and Predictions

G11-Fantasy Cricket Prediction for Today's Match

Rohit Sharma-led India will play for pride when they take on hosts Sri Lanka in the third and final match of the ongoing ODI series at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo tomorrow. The first match of the series ended in a draw while the hosts comfortably defeated the Men in Blue in the second encounter.

Notably, the last time the Men in Blue were defeated in a bilateral ODI series in Sri Lanka was in 1997 when Arjuna Ranatunga led the hosts to a 3-match whitewash of Sachin Tendulkar's men. However, in the 11 series played since then, the hosts have never managed to get on the right side of history.

Pitch Report

149 ODIs have been played in Colombo. Teams batting first in 80 and chasing in 59 were successful. 9 matches were also inconclusive, while only one match was tied. This tied match was the first ODI of the ongoing series between India and Sri Lanka.

Spinners dominated in the first ODI, spin was helped in both the innings and chasing was difficult. Considering that 4 major fast bowlers of Sri Lanka are injured, today's pitch can also be helpful for spin. In such a situation, the team winning the toss will bat first.

Weather Report

There is a 50% chance of rain in Colombo today. However, after 2 pm the probability will be reduced to 11%, but it may rain after 8 pm. That is, there will be no problem in the first innings, but rain can disrupt the second innings.
