SL vs NZ Dream11 Prediction 3rd ODI
The Sri Lankan team is performing brilliantly on its home ground. Captain Charit Asalanka has strengthened the team in every department, taking it in the right direction. However, there is still room for improvement in batting. The opening pair of Pathum Nissanka and Avishka Fernando are capable of giving the team a quick start. In the middle order, Kusal Mendis, Kamindu Mendis, and Charit Asalanka will take the responsibility of scoring runs. In the last match, Kusal Mendis's innings of 74 runs led the team to victory.
Under the captaincy of Mitchell Santner, the performance of the New Zealand team has been disappointing so far. Their batting has proved to be a weak link against spin bowling. However, batsmen like Mark Chapman and Mitchell Hay have scored runs to some extent. In the top order, Will Young and Tim Robinson will have to give a quick start. In the middle order, Mark Chapman, Glenn Phillips, and Henry Nicholls will have the responsibility of playing big innings. In bowling, Michael Bracewell and Ish Sodhi will have to handle the spin department, while Jacob Duffy and Lockie Ferguson will contribute to fast bowling..
