Preview
The third and final ODI of this series between Afghanistan and Sri Lanka will be contested in Hambantota's Mahinda Rajapaksa International Stadium on Wednesday (June 7). After facing a huge loss in the first game, Sri Lanka opted to bat in the second ODI with a plan in mind. Openers Pathum Nissanka and Dimuth Karunaratne put on a good opening stand of 82 runs in 15 overs. Followed by solid fifties from Dimuth Karunaratne and Kusal Mendis laid a strong foundation to go hard in the end overs, which worked well. Additionally, short appearances from Shanaka, Dhananjaya, and Hasaranga helped Sri Lanka cross the 300-run mark. Sri Lanka scored 109 runs in the final 10 overs. Coming to their bowling department, Dushmantha Chameera showed his class at the start of the innings by dismissing the Afghan wicketkeeper Rahmanullah Gurbaz. It was all about spinners from that point. Especially from the start of the 30th over, Sri Lanka picked up 8 wickets for 45 runs, with Dhananjaya and Hasaranga sharing six wickets. Sri Lankan spinners took 7 wickets as they won the game by a huge margin.

Player Picks
Wanindu Hasaranga SL | ALL
The surface at Hambantota will definitely suit spinners. In his return in the second ODI, he took three wickets for 42 runs. The all-rounder can provide you with fantasy points through his dual skills. He can certainly hit a quick-fire knock in the end, like he did in the second ODI .
Fazalhaq Farooqi AFG | BOWL
He can swing it in the initial overs as well as nail the yorkers in the end overs. He has taken 18 wickets in the last 11 games and is the head of Afghanistan's pace attack. His impactful performance in the first ODI helped Afghanistan restrict Sri Lanka from scoring over 270 runs.
Dushmantha Chameera SL | BOWL
This right-arm fast bowler troubled the Afghanistan batters in the last game. Though he took only two wickets, he gave away just 18 runs in 7.1 overs. He will be bowling upfront for Sri Lanka, so he can create that impact in your fantasy teams.
Ibrahim Zadran AFG | BAT
In this series, he has been one of the best batters for Afghanistan. He has scored half-centuries in the first two matches and has an average of 80 in his last eight outings.
Dhananjaya de Silva SL | ALL
In this series, he has bowled 20 overs and picked up three wickets at an excellent economy rate. His dual skills will help you gain more points. This series, he scored 51 (59) and 29 (24). The surface suits his bowling. He's a reliable player when the top order fails.
Mohammad Nabi AFG | ALL
He took three wickets in two games. Considering the pitch, he's a good choice to have on your team. In his last 10 games, he took 15 wickets at a strike rate of 28. The Aghan off-spinner can play a rebuilding knock and is also capable of scoring quick runs at the end.
Najibullah Zadran AFG | BAT
He's one of the quality Afghan batters and have an overall average of 30 with a strike rate of 90. . He's capable of taking spin out of the equation and will be extremely valuable in crisis situations. He can repair the inning and take his team to a respectable position.
Noor Ahmad AFG | BOWL
He is in the early stages of his career. This left-arm wrist spinner took two in the last two ODIs. As the venue remains the same for all three matches, spin could play a role in the decider. In such situations, he's a differential pick.
Dasun Shanaka SL | ALL
The fast bowling all-rounder has delivered for Sri Lanka in the past in knockout games. In the last game, he scored a quick-fire knock of 23 (12) and picked a wicket. His overall average is 25, and has picked up 18 wickets.
Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team
Azmatullah Omarzai
AFG | ALL
In nine games, he has an average of 15 and picked just five wickets. His batting position is also one of the reasons to skip him on your team.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz
AFG | WK
This promising young wicketkeeper failed in the first two games and scored 14 (23) and 2 (12). He's been added to this section considering his recent form.
