In a thrilling finale to the three matches of the ongoing ODI series between two powerhouses, hosts Sri Lanka (SL) is all set to turn their fortunes against New Zealand (NZ) on November 19 at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium. With the series well in the home team's hands, the Islanders have taken an unassailable 2-0 lead. The series opener was a nail-batter, where Mitchell Santer and his men faced an early setback and lost the match by 45 runs, a result influenced by rain that reduced the game to just 27 overs. Wicket-keeper batter Kusal Mendis was the star of the show, hammering a magnificent 143 off 128 balls featuring 17 fours and two towering sixes.
However, the second ODI game turned out to be another exhilarating contest, where the Lanka Lions won by three wickets in a DLS-inflicted game owing to persistent rainfall in Pallekele. Once again, top-order batter Kusal Mendis showcases his batting display, hammering 74 not out off 102 balls featuring six fours. The home team's bowling performances headed and bolsted by their spinners, played a crucial role in Sri Lanka's series win, which strengthened Charith Asalanka and his men's grip on the trophy.
Meanwhile, the cricket fraternity is ready to witness yet another big battle of ODI cricket as the third and final ODI match is slated to take place on November 19 at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, Pallekele.

Player Picks
Kusal Mendis SL | WK
The Sri Lankan wicket-keeper batter has piled up an incredible 143 off 128 balls featuring 17 boundaries and two sixes with a decent strike rate of 112 to help his side wins the series opener. The stylish right-handed batter continued his great form in the next game as he piled up an unbeaten 74 off 102 balls featuring six fours to help his side wins the series in the second ODI itself. The star cricketer will be stepping up in the last game as well to mark a clean sweep against the Black Caps so you must consider him as a captaincy pick. In addition, the top-order batter will be keeping the wickets so his work behind the stumps can also give you additional fantasy points with high returns.
Charith Asalanka SL | BAT
The middle-order batter has piled up crucial 40 runs from 28 balls featuring three boundaries and two six to guide his side to win the game in the first ODI alongside picking up two wickets. Notably, the star all-rounder has continued his form in the next game as he made 13 runs alongside picking up one wicket in the second ODI. One must have him as a captaincy pick as his solid form with both bat and ball can bolster your fantasy points in the third and final ODI game of the series. In addition, Asalanka would be aiming to mark a clean sweep over New Zealand under his leadership.
Mark Chapman NZ | ALL
The New Zealand batter has piled up crucial 76 off 81 balls featuring seven boundaries and three sixes to help his side stand in the dominant spot after his side loses early wickets in the game during the second ODI of the series. He is one of the most lethal batter from his side who sets to pose big threat to home team in the next game. We predict that, one should go with Chapman in the third ODI, considering his sublime form in the white-ball format as well as now the Blacks Caps desperately need win in the next game to avoid a clean sweep.
