It would be a test by spin for the batting lineup of the two teams, given the quality of spin present on both sides. To add to that, each of the three main spinners of Sri Lanka and Bangladesh is in good form, which makes the contest even.

If we talk about the record of ODI matches played at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, teams usually prefer to chase at this venue, with 27 out of the 44 games played at this venue won by the chasing team.

Whereas the remaining 17 games have been won by the team that has batted first. The above stat reiterates the fact that it won't be a bad decision to bowl first after winning the toss in the third and final game.

Having said that, if we go by the trend in the series so far, both matches have been won by the team that has batted first. It would be interesting to see if the team that wins the toss in the decider sticks with the trend.

The team that bats first in the third ODI will look to score 260-270 runs, as the average first innings total at this venue in ODI cricket happens to be 244 runs.

The home team would be ruing the opportunity to restrict Bangladesh to a below-par total after dismissing half of the team for less than 170 runs and would want to get things right in the third match.

Bangladesh's management, on the other hand, would be elated by how the team performed in the second ODI and made a strong comeback in the series.

One of the things that stood out in the last game was how young Bangladeshi batters like Towhid Hridoy and Parvez Hossain Emon batted in different phases of the innings.

Emon held one end at the start and scored a vital half-century while Hridoy controlled things in the middle overs by forming small but valuable partnerships with the lower-order batters.

Conclusion

Sri Lanka will look to make a strong comeback and deliver the final blow to win the SL vs BAN series and keep their unbeaten record at home in ODI cricket since September 2021 in check.

As far as Bangladesh is concerned, the young team has a chance of achieving something in the absence of senior players, courtesy of a win in the third ODI.
