This game begins at the R.Premadasa Stadium at 14:30 local time.

Sri Lanka Team News & Playing 11
SL Team News
We expect to see bowling all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga return to the XI in this ODI with Dunith Wellalage our prediction for the player to be left out. Danushka Gunathilaka missed out on Sunday with a hamstring strain and we expect him to be unavailable for this game with Niroshan Dickwella retaining his place in the team.
SL Key Players
- Kusal Mendis - Sri Lanka’s highest run scorer in the series had to retire hurt with a hamstring injury on Sunday. He had scored 87 from 85 balls and we expect him to be available to continue his impressive form in this ODI.
- Pathum Nissanka - the young Sri Lankan opener has scored a century and a fifty in this series so far. He hit two sixes in his innings on Sunday.
- Wanindu Hasaranga - the bowling all-rounder is an integral part of the side and even when out with an injury was seen advising young spinners in the dressing room. He has 99 international wickets to his name.
SL Team Form
Sri Lanka have won seven of their last ten games and three of their last four in this format. With Wanindu Hasaranga returning to their XI they should be even stronger in this ODI.
Sri Lanka Predicted Playing 11
Pathum Nissanka, Niroshan Dickwella (wk), Kusal Mendis, Charith Asalanka, Dasun Shanaka (c), Dhananjaya de Silva, Wanindu Hasaranga, Chamika Karunaratne, Dushmantha Chameera, Jeffrey Vandersay, Maheesh Theekshana

AUS Team News
It has been a series and a tour full of injuries for Australia so far. Ahead of Sunday’s ODI, Steve Smith joined Mitchell Starc and Ashton Agar on the sidelines with a quad strain. Glenn Maxwell picked up a glute strain during Sunday’s game but we expect him to take the field in this match.

- Glenn Maxwell - The all-rounder hit 33 runs from 18 balls in the third ODI and had the highest strike-rate across both sides. He also dismissed Sri Lanka opener Niroshan Dickwella.

Australia have won only one of their last five games in this format. Although they thought they were ahead in the game at the halfway stage on Sunday, they were not good enough with bat or ball.
