Ind eyes whitewash against shaky Sri Lanka 

Preview

After a exhilarating finish to the second game, India would look to end the series on a high and extend their unbeaten run against SL. Traditionally known for seam bowling, Deepak Chahar unexpectedly won the game for the visitors through his batting in the series decider. His calculated 69* was studded with 8 boundaries. India had no business getting close, let alone winning. But, the Agra born cricketer had some other plans. The Spin duo of Kuldeep-Chahal were again spot on with their variations. For the hosts it was their death bowling that let them down yet again. Batting first, the Lions did exceptionally well to reach the 275 run mark. Thanks to valuable knocks from Fernando, Asalanka, and Karunaratne. If the Lankans are to win a match, they need to put in a lot of work on their death bowling.  Before we move ahead with the ultimate game, let us look at what one can expect from the final match.

Match Prediction

The visitors have been dominant all throughout the ODI series. They have outplayed their rivals in every department and would look to do so in the final game. Sri Lanka on the other hand have had their moments in previous encounters but have not quite been able to get a positive result out of it. We predict Gabbar’s men to end the series on a high.
