🏏India Vs SriLanka - 3rd ODI Pallekele🏏

Indian opener Shafali Verma said that she has been working on her fitness and on taking more singles during her innings. India will take on Sri Lanka in the final ODI of the three-match series in Pallekele on Thursday (July 7), looking to complete a 3-0 whitewash. The visitors already have a winning 2-0 lead in the series.

Sri Lanka will, once again, be keen to pick up a conciliatory win like they did in the T20 series.

Let down by its batters this series, the Chamari Athapaththu-led side would hope it can navigate the Indian bowling attack better in the dead rubber.

On the bowling front, the spin duo of Inoka Ranaweera and Oshadi Ranasinghe have been the stand-out players, doing most of the heavy lifting.

Pitch Report:The pitch at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium is a balanced track. The new ball comes nicely onto the willow and the batters can play their strokes freely.  The spinners will come into play in the later stages of the game as the ball may grip off the surface.

Weather Forecast: The temperature in Pallekele on Friday is expected to range between 23 and 29 degrees Celsius. We might witness rain interruptions during the course of the match as there is rain predicted on Thursday.

SriLanka Probable XI:

Vishmi Gunaratne, Chamari Athapaththu (c), Harshitha Madavi, Kavisha Dilhari, Nilakshi de Silva, Ama Kanchana, Anushka Sanjeewani (wk), Oshadi Ranasinghe, Sugandika Kumari, Malsha Shehani, Inoka Ranaweera

India Probable XI:

Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma, Sabbhineni Meghana, Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Yastika Bhatia, Deepti Sharma, Richa Ghosh (wk), Pooja Vastrakar, Rajeshwari Gayakawad, Renuka Singh, Poonam Yadav

Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, who has been exceptional with the bat, will hope that her team finishes the tour on a high. Sri Lanka on the other hand will be playing for their pride as they look to avoid the humiliation of a series whitewash. Opener Hasini Perera has not been consistent in the series and will look to get some runs under her belt. Skipper Athapaththu also needs to play a captain’s knock and spend some more time at the crease if Sri Lanka is to have any chance of beating a strong Indian team.

The Indian Women have been outstanding in the series so far. The Lankan Women have been outplayed in the series so far and will have to bring out their A-game to win.

India look a settled unit and it won't be a surprise if they whitewash the series on Thursday.
