Sri Lanka Preview
No one expected Sri Lanka to defeat India in this ODI series. Especially as the home side is without several frontline bowlers and India are almost at full strength. However, they have made perfect use of these slow conditions and made the Indian batsmen struggle. After tying the first game, Sri Lanka produced a terrific effort in the second ODI to win by 32 runs.
India Preview
Team India have been caught napping in this ODI series. The slow, spinning tracks havenβt allowed their batters to hit through the line and they have shown an unusual lack of discipline to stay at the wicket when the going is tough.
Weather Conditions
The pitch at the R.Premadasa Stadium will be slow and will continue to offer loads of spin and bounce. The best time to bat here is in the first 10 overs when the ball is new and the pitch is a little hard. As the ball gets older, the pitch becomes tougher to bat on. It will spin viciously and grip the surface, especially in the second innings. Batters will need to show solid defense and plenty of application to survive the tough conditions and make runs.
