SL vs BAN 3rd ODI – Preview
Sri Lanka will look to seal the three-match series when it takes on Bangladesh in the third One-Day International at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Kandy on Tuesday.
The host rode on skipper Charith Asalanka’s gritty century to win the series opener by 77 runs. Set a middling target of 245, Bangladesh bundled out for 167 with skipper Wanindu Hasaranga and Kamindu Mendis picking seven wickets between them.
However, Bangladesh held its nerve in the second game, in a nail-biting finish to clinch a 16-run win to level the three-match series at 1-1.
The Lankans are eyeing a fifth consecutive ODI series win at home since August last year after beating India, West Indies, New Zealand and Australia in their backyard.
