Preview:
Bangladesh have been quite flawless in this series so far. The strategy of batting first and putting up a score on the board has really worked well for them so far. In the first match, it was the partnership of Mahmudullah and Mushfiqur Rahim which helped Bangladesh to get a good score.
In the second match, a similar thing happened, as two senior batters helped them get to a good score once again. Rahim has been quite an exception in this series and so has been the Bangladesh bowlers. The bowlers have been good on this track and the visitors have struggled. Sri Lanka would want to win the dead rubber and go home with at least a win.

Pitch Report:
There is a certain slowness to this surface. Batsmen have found it difficult to sometimes get the scoreboard going. The bowlers with variations will succeed on this track.

Top Picks for BAN vs SL Dream11 Match:
Top Picks – Batsmen
Bangladeshi skipper Tamim Iqbal scored a brilliant fifty in the first ODI. He was in full flow in the second match as well until he got out. Before this series, he was also in good form against Sri Lanka.
Danushka Gunathilaka was in good form before arriving in this series. In both the matches, he has been able to get the starts but hasn’t been able to put up a big score. He has scored 45 runs in the two innings.
Top Picks – All-Rounders
Shakib Al Hasan is one of the best all-rounders in the format. Even though he hasn’t been able to put together a big score in this series, a champion cricketer like him would bounce back.
Wanindu Hasaranga went wicketless in the 1st ODI but came back with one wicket in the 2nd ODI. He also scored 74 runs from 60 balls in the first ODI.
Top Picks – Bowlers
Mehidy Hasan Miraz has picked up seven wickets in the last two ODI matches and has been bowling well in this series.
Dushmantha Chameera bowled pretty well in the two matches. He picked up three wickets in the last match. He also picked a wicket in the first ODI.
Top Picks – Wicket-Keepers
Mushfiqur Rahim has been classy with the bat in this series and Sri Lanka haven’t been able to handle him. He scored a match-winning 84 in the first match and then followed that up with a hundred in the next match.

BAN vs SL Risky Captaincy Choices:
Mahmudullah has been batting well in this series so far. He has scored 95 runs in the two innings. He has batted through difficult phases but because he bats at no. 6. So, it is a risky thing to pick him as a captain.
Kusal Perera hasn’t been in the best of form and has struggled with the slowness of the wickets. It is slightly risky to pick him in this team.
Player you should avoid:
Liton Das has not been in the best of form and he seems to be struggling. It is best that you avoid that.
