SL vs IND Probable Top Performers of the Match
Probable Best Batter: Rohit Sharma
India skipper Rohit Sharma could be the best batter in the upcoming third ODI against Sri Lanka. The veteran opener has been in exceptional form, scoring back-to-back fifties. In the first ODI, the 37-year-old scored 58 followed up by 44 ball- 64 in the previous match. Sharma will look to give India another blistering start and will hope to hit a hattrick of fifties.
Probable Best Bowler: Jeffrey Vandersay
Sri Lanka’s Jeffrey Vandersay could be the best bowler in the final ODI against India. In his quota of ten overs in the second ODI, Vandersay recorded his career-best spell and finished with the figures of 6/33. The leg spinner demolished the strong Indian batting line-up and helped his side secure their first win of the series.
