After making heavy weather of an easy chase in the second T20, Australia will look to wrap the series up in what has been a fairly one sided T20 series so far. Sri Lanka were absolutely dismal in the first two games and it will take a herculean effort to salvage some pride to avoid a whitewash.
Match Preview
The action now shifts to the Pallekele international stadium after Australia registered a narrow win in the second T20 against the hosts. Kane and Jhye Richardson took 7 wickets amongst them and restricted Sri Lanka to a below par total of 124 and fancied a quick finish to win their second series in a row against the Lankan lions
In the run chase though, Wanindu Hasaranga had different ideas. He bamboozled the Aussie batsmen with his wrong ones and the chase was not as easy as it appeared to be. Eventually, Matthew Wade was the calming influence as he took Australia to a match and series win.
For the third T20, both Australia and Sri Lanka will be looking to chop and change their sides as they have had contrasting fortunes in the series so far. While the hosts are down and out, the visitors have clinched the series.
Team Preview.
Sri Lanka, who have already conceded the T20 series, will look to make changes to their side. Lahiru Madhushanka, Ramesh Mendis and Matheesha Pathirana, who resembles Lasith Malinga with his bowling style might be drafted into the team as they look to sign off the T20 series on a high.
Australia too would want to rest the big guns before the ODI series. Josh Inglis, leg spinner Mitchell Swepson and Sean Abbot would be keen to have a go as the Kangaroos would like to make a statement and win the T20 series 3-0.
Match Prediction
Australia, who hold all the aces after winning the second T20 will look to make it 3-0 as Sri Lanka are woefully short on confidence after conceding the first two games, hence we predict Australia to win the third T20.
Betting Tips
Australia is predicted to be the winner of this match and the series as well.Readers have look on the betting tips on individuals players performances,
Ashton Agar – The left arm tweaker has gone wicketless in the first two games and is expected to trouble the Lankan batting order in the third T20 with his tight line and lengths and take the most number of wickets in the match.
Mitchell Marsh – Like Ashton Agar, Marsh too has been unlucky in the series so far, but expect him to come good in the final game as he will be eager to show off his pyrotechnics and we predict him to hit the most number of sixes in the third T20
Charith Asalanka – The southpaw has shown his range of shots in the second T20 and was the highest scorer for Sri Lanka. We predict him to be the top scorer in the third T20 as he is one of the mainstays of the Sri Lankan batting unit.
