Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh 3rd T20I Match Winner Prediction
Despite their significant 83-run loss in the 2nd T20I, Sri Lanka remain in the driver’s seat heading into the 3rd T20I match. It was a rare collapse for the Lankan side at Dambulla, but they will look to regroup and clinch the series in the decider. A couple of changes are possible: Dunith Wellalage, who adds much more balance, could replace Jeffrey Vandersay, and Eeshan Malinga might get a go ahead of Chamika Karunaratne.
After a shambolic performance to begin the series and a comeback in the last match. Bangladesh will be feeling a lot more confident heading into the final match in Colombo. A venue where they have dominated against Sri Lanka with a 75% win record. However, their bowlers will need to replicate their performance from the last match, and a collective batting effort is essential. Expect a strong fight from the Bangla Tigers in this fixture, with Sri Lanka narrowly edging past them to win the match.
