Sri Lanka Team News & Playing 11
Kusal Perera, Niroshan Dickwella and Angelo Mathews have all had good hits so far in this series. While Perera scored 81 in the first game, Dickwella and Mathews cracked half-centuries in the second. While Sri Lanka will want these three batsmen to continue their good form, there will also be plenty of expectations from opener Upul Tharanga who has a century at this ground. Akila Dananjaya has been the star performer for Sri Lanka with the ball. The offspinner has taken three wickets each in the two matches and he is likely to cause problems for South Africa once again. Thisara Perera has 12 wickets in as many matches at Pallekele and he together with Suranga Lakmal will form the main threat in this Sri Lankan pace attack.
Sri Lanka Predicted Playing 11
Niroshan Dickwella, Upul Tharanga, Kusal Mendis, Kusal Perera (wk), Angelo Mathews (c), Shehan Jayasuriya, Thisara Perera, Akila Dananjaya, Suranga Lakmal, Prabath Jayasuriya, Kasun Rajitha
South Africa Team News & Playing 11
Quinton de Kock seems to be in fine touch with scores of 47 and 87 in the respective two matches and he will be backed by his team for another solid performance here. Faf du Plessis has scored 96 runs so far in this series and he too is a key figure in this South African batting line-up. The Proteas will also expect healthy contributions from Hashim Amla and JP Duminy who struck an unbeaten fifty in the first ODI. With the ball, the team will look to their seamers Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi and Andile Phehlukwayo to deliver the goods. Rabada has taken five wickets in the two matches including a four-fer in the first match while Ngidi has four in the series. Phehlukwayo was the standout performer for South Africa last time with figures of 3-44 from nine overs.
South Africa Predicted Playing 11
Hashim Amla, Quinton de Kock (wk), Aiden Markram, Faf du Plessis (c), Jean-Paul Duminy, David Miller, Willem Mulder, Andile Phehlukwayo, Kagiso Rabada, Tabraiz Shamsi, Lungi Ngidi

Sri Lanka vs South Africa Betting Odds
The odds for South Africa have shortened up even more after their win in the second one-day international. The Proteas are therefore the obvious favorites amongst the bookmakers to win the third ODI with a 1.55 offer on Betway. Sri Lanka continue to remain outsiders at odds of 2.37 on Betway.
🏆 Sri Lanka vs South Africa Prediction
South Africa have dominated Sri Lanka in the first two one-dayers and they are now on the cusp of winning the series. Sri Lanka clearly have plenty of questions to answer after their back-to-back defeats. And this being a must win game, there is obviously going to be a lot of pressure on them. The hosts have lost the last three ODIs they have played at Pallekele and this could make them even more nervous heading into this game. Sri Lanka will need a strong batting performance if they are to have any chance of staying alive in the series but seeing how the series has panned out so far, we expect another dominant performance from the South African bowlers. The Proteas have the momentum with them and look well set to clinch the series on Sunday.
Final Verdict: Back South Africa to beat Sri Lanka in the third ODI at 1.55 on Betway.
