IND vs SL 3rd ODI Dream11 Prediction: In the second ODI of the ongoing series, India suffered their first ODI loss to Sri Lanka in more than three years. The first ODI of this series ended in a tie. Now, with only one match to go, India now stand the threat of losing their first ODI series against Sri Lanka since 1997.
In the third ODI on Wednesday, while India will be looking to avoid a bilateral series loss, something that is a rare event, Sri Lanka will be aiming to break a 27-year wait.
Dunith Wellalage was Sri Lanka’s hero in the tied first ODI with his all-round show and Jeffrey Vandersay in the second ODI with his six-for, all of which were the first six Indian wickets to fall. Both teams have suffered batting collapses in this series, but Sri Lanka’s lower order has bailed them both times. For India, their batting order first needs stability.
India vs Sri Lanka 3rd ODI team news:
India have rested Jasprit Bumrah, Ravindra Jadeja, and Hardik Pandya from the ODI series against Sri Lanka, while Mohammed Shami is injured.
Sri Lanka have been ravaged with injuries to fast bowlers Dushmantha Chameera, Nuwan Thushara, Matheesha Pathirana, and Dilshan Madushanka. They were given a huge blow when Wanindu Hasaranga was also ruled out of the series due to a hamstring injury.
Sri Lanka are expected to stick with the same XI, while India can bring in Riyan Parag for Shivam Dube.

India vs Sri Lanka 3rd ODI Pitch and weather report:
The pitch, as expected, has gotten more and more difficult for batting as the series has progressed. It has felt like a day-four Test match pitch with the ball turning and gripping significantly along with staying low. Another sub-230 game is on the cards.
India vs Sri Lanka 3rd ODI Dream11 Captaincy Prediction:
Dunith Wellalage is an apt choice for the Dream11 captaincy. The left-armer has hurt India with both bat and ball. He has scored crucial runs lower down the order in both ODIs. In the first ODI, he dismissed the Indian openers. Given India’s heavy right-handed batting order, he will always be in the game with the ball.
