England vs Sri Lanka, 3rd ODI: Who will Will?
England and Sri Lanka are ready for another face-off in the ongoing ODI series. The third match of the series will be played on the 26th of June at the County Ground in Bristol.

Read on for our betting tips and match prediction on England vs Sri Lanka 2016 3rd ODI...
Venue and Toss
236, 160, 182, 329 and 252 have been the last five first-innings scores at this venue. 13 completed ODIs have been played here and the average score recorded in the first innings is 235. It won't be the greatest of surfaces to bat on and 260 should be a decent score while batting first.
Three of the last four games at Bristol have been won by the team that has batted first. So the team that wins the toss on Sunday will want to bat first and put the opposition under pressure by posting a challenging total.
England should be hard to beat if they win the toss. Otherwise, we could have a close contest on our hands.

If ENG Bat First
Predicted Score: Around 265
England bat deep with the likes of Hales, Root, Morgan, Bairstow and Buttler in the side. The first three are going to be the key for England with the bat. If they are able to set a nice foundation for the team, the other two can cash in and power England to around 265.
Skipper Angelo Mathews is uncertain for this match because of the hamstring injury he picked up in the first match. If he misses out, Sri Lanka will have to rely on Lakmal and Shanaka to take early wickets. Lakmal impressed with his bowling skills against Ireland and he is likely to emerge as their top bowler on Sunday. Pradeep and Prasanna are two other bowlers who will look to put a squeeze on England. If Sri Lanka take three or four quick wickets, England will struggle to reach the predicted score.
Sri Lanka Team News & Playing 11
If SL Bat First
Predicted Score: Around 250
Perera-Gunathilaka is most likely to be their opening pair when it comes to batting, and the two will be expected to negotiate the early swing and give Sri Lanka a steady start. Much is going to depend on Dinesh Chandimal in the middle order and he will be backed to top-score for his side. If the openers and Chandimal bat well, and with Prasanna down the order, Sri Lanka should be able to reach 250 or even more.
The Lankan openers could be up against England's Willey and Woakes at the start of the innings. The two speedsters have been sharp with the ball so far and they will be played with caution. Plunkett is another fast bowler who can trouble the batsmen at this ground with his out-swingers. England will need these three to bowl well and pick up wickets if they are to restrict Sri Lanka under 250.
Our Prediction
England have only 3 wins in the 8 completed ODIs they have played at Bristol, which is a rather poor record for a home ground. Sri Lanka have featured in two games at this ground and have lost both of them. Nevertheless, England will still be at an advantage of knowing the ground conditions better. Moreover, the confidence of the visitors could be undermined if their regular skipper Angelo Mathews doesn't play.
Though Sri Lanka are by no means a weak team, we're backing hosts England here to win this third ODI on Sunday.
