Sri Lanka Betting Analysis

Sri Lanka continue to outplay New Zealand in all departs although the tourists put up a much stronger fight in the second ODI on Sunday. We recommended investment in Kusal Mendis following his 143 and the experienced wicket-keeper backed that up with 74 not out on Sunday. To have already passed 200 runs across the series after two games takes a serious amount of skill and effort. Batting and three, back Mendis to finish as Sri Lanks’s top batter for the third match running.

New Zealand Betting Analysis

Michael Bracewell took a liking to the surface at Pallekele this past weekend, the New Zealand all-rounder plundering four wickets through his right-arm off-spin. He’s currently averaging three wickets per ODI in Sri Lanka this year and utilising the ‘Bowler Milestones’ market may prove a shrewd option for this last game, with Bracewell available to take 2+ wickets.

Sri Lanka vs New Zealand Expert Prediction

Sri Lanka are simply an all-round better functioning and stronger unit on their own soil, as they’ve shown over the course of this series. That is unlikely to change with New Zealand struggling to sustain pressure whenever they find themselves in the ascendancy. With that in mind, it’s well worth backing a third straight ODI win for the hosts.
