South Africa and Sri Lanka will lock horns in the third ODI tomorrow (March 10). The match will be played at Kingsmead, Durban. While home team South Africa seek to bag series, Sri Lanka is eyeing their first ODI win in the series.
After an unfortunate Test series, South Africa is possibly on a revenge mode winning two back to back ODI with comfort. In the first match, the hosts won by 8 wickets while in the second match, they won by 113 runs. South Africa, which was expected to be weak after losses in two Tests and practice match, made a great comeback to outclass Sri Lanka in ODIs.
The worry for Sri Lanka is not bowling but batting. The bowlers have shown great efforts but it’s the batting which is facing a slump. However, it’s not the end for Sri Lanka as they can still save the series by winning the third ODI.
