Sri Lanka vs West Indies 3rd ODI Match Prediction 2024: SL vs WI Team Preview, Pitch Report, and Playing 11
Sri Lanka vs West Indies: The final ODI match of the series will be played at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, R. Premadasa, Colombo, Sri Lanka, on October 26. The match will start at 2:30.
Team Preview of Sri Lanka vs West Indies 3rd ODI Match Prediction 2024
The final ODI match will be played at the same venue, but it will be a compulsory match as Sri Lanka has already won the series. They won the last match by five wickets. Maheesh Theekshana was a player of the match, picking up three crucial matches, but it was Wanindu Hasaranga who took four wickets.
The Sri Lanka team has been in great form. Since their loss against Bangladesh in March, they have won four back-to-back matches, two of which came against India. Once again, Wanindu Hasaranga won it for Sri Lanka, but this time, Asitha Fernando opened the gate for the team, picking up three wickets.
In both matches, West Indies’s Sherfane Rutherford and Gudakesh Motie did all they could, but they still failed to win for their team. The other players need to contribute to the team, and the team should give a chance to Evin Lewis, who has a good record against Sri Lanka, in place of Brandon King.
“It is a very good thing for us. Guys are doing really well and hope to continue. (On picking Theekshana) Main reason was weather and there were reduced overs. He is a world-class bowler and I wanted to play him. Enjoying my role at number 5, I have a big role and wanted to do well.”
Charith Asalanka Said In Post-Match Interview
“I really don’t like to focus on things we can’t control. What we can control is our performance and our processes, and today was a poor performance. We need to play spin well, show more intent because we play a lot of dot balls. We don’t put enough revs on the ball, and we bowl too quickly. Need to take a leaf out of the Sri Lankan spinners.”

The pitch for the 3rd ODI is anticipated to significantly favor the spin bowlers, showcasing a slower nature as the match progresses. This characteristic will allow spinners to extract more turns and bounce, complicating the task for the batsmen to time their shots effectively.
The slow pace of the pitch is expected to challenge the batters’ ability to play aggressive strokes, making precise shot selection crucial for scoring runs. As a result, teams might look to bolster their lineup with quality spinners and batsmen adept at playing spin bowling, preparing for a contest where patience and technique will be key.
As it is going to be the third match on the same pitch, it will surely favor the spinners heavily. However, if the rain drips a lot, it will surely not be helpful for bowlers as it will be hard to grip the ball.
