New Zealand Betting Analysis

Rachin Ravindra’s return to form has been most welcome from a New Zealand point of view. The 25-year-old has been opening the batting over the course of this ODI series and boasts scores of 45 and 79 respectively. Bettors should consider investing in Ravindra to finish this three-game set with a flourish this weekend by finishing the third ODI as New Zealand’s top bowler. 

Sri Lanka Betting Analysis

Despite losing the second ODI, Sri Lanka spinner Maheesh Theekshana did everything he could to try and swing the pendulum in Sri Lanka’s favour. The visiting bowler took a hat-trick towards the end of New Zealand’s innings and finished with four wickets overall. He’ll be expected to back that up with another big showing here, so look at investing in him to acquire 2+ wickets at Eden Park.

New Zealand vs Sri Lanka Expert Prediction

Even though the series is already wrapped up, New Zealand are sure to want to finish with a flourish after having totally dominated these ODI games. Sri Lanka have been vastly inferior to the hosts throughout and once again, that should be reflected in this final encounter. Back the Black Caps to secure the sweep.
