Preview
Sri Lanka’s tour of Bangladesh will conclude on May 28 when the third and final ODI is set to be played. The hosts have already won the series by winning the first two matches and they will be keen on whitewashing the opposition. Mushfiqur Rahim and Mehidy Hasan have been top performers for Bangladesh but the team needs to improve considerably. Mohammad Saifuddin is doubtful for this game.
Sri Lanka have bowled really well in the last two ODIs. It is their inexperienced batting which has let them down. Skipper Kusal Perera needs to step up while the middle-order should make sure they don’t collapse as well. Toss plays a crucial role and a lot will change if the visitors win it and bat first.

Captaincy Picks for BAN vs SL
Shakib Al Hasan
Though he has failed to make much of an impact, Shakib Al Hasan remains the most important player for Bangladesh. He bats at three and can definitely pick wickets with the ball. Shakib will be itching to make a contribution with the bat having failed so far while he has picked three wickets so far.
Danushka Gunathilaka
Danushka Gunathilaka opens the innings and has scored 45 runs in two innings. If he gives himself time, the left-hander will surely convert his starts. Gunathilaka also bowled well in the series opener and can pick up an odd wicket in crunch situations.
