IND vs SL Dream11 Prediction: Fantasy Cricket Tips, Today's Playing 11 and Pitch Report for 3rd ODI
The third and final ODI between Sri Lanka and India is set to take place at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Friday.
The depth of the Indian cricket team shone through in the previous ODI as Deepak Chahar paved the way for a stunning comeback win against Sri Lanka. Although the Indians have already sealed an impressive series win, that shouldn't stop them from eyeing a clean-sweep. While their spinners Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav have shown signs of improvement, India's batting depth and firepower have been the deciding factor in the series. Although a couple of changes are expected of the Indians, one can expect another good performance in the series finale.
The Sri Lankans have impressed in patches so far with the likes of Charith Asalanka and Wanindu Hasaranga leading the way with bat and ball respectively. However, they will need a complete performance to get the better of their Asian counterparts. All eyes will be on their star opener Avishka Fernando, who hasn't been able to convert his starts into big ones so far in the series.
The Indians will walk into this game as the favorites with momentum on their side. However, Sri Lanka will look to add some respectability to the scoreline with a morale-boosting win ahead of the all-important T20I series. All in all, a cracking game of cricket beckons with both teams aiming for a win on Friday.

Pitch Report
Although this is the third match at the venue this week, a good batting track beckons with some help on offer for the spinners as well. There isn't much swing available with the new ball, paving the way for the openers to attack the bowling from ball one. As the match progresses, the pitch will slow down with the spinners likely to extract ample turn off the surface. Wickets in hand will be key towards the end with both teams preferring to chase under the lights. Although 260 should be par at the venue, both teams are capable of going above and beyond.
