Sri Lanka vs India Betting Tips

Got a free bet? You can use it on the below Sri Lanka vs Ind♌ia match predictions and betting tips for the 3rd ODI. We will be updating these tips with every game of the series.

  • Virat Kohli to score 25 or more runs, Rohit Sharma to hit one or more 6’s, Mohammad Siraj and Jefferey Vandersay to take 1 or more wickets each: 2.50 (1xBet)

Virat Kohli has failed to score 25 or more runs in the 1st & 2nd ODI, but he looked in good touch in both the matches and with the series on the line, we back Kohli to come good anꩵd score ov🌄er 25 runs in the 3rd ODI.

Rohit Sharma ha꧒🐭s been in phenomenal form smashing a total of seven sixes in the ODI series, Mohammad Siraj has picked up a minimum of one wicket in the 1st & 2nd ODI.

Jeffery Vandersay picked up six wickets in the 2nd ODI and the conditions favouring the spinners, we ♏back Vandersay to pick a minimum of 1 w𒈔icket.

  • Axar Patel to score over 24.5 runs, hit over 0.5 sixes and to take over 0.5 wickets: 3.00 (1xBet)

Axar Patel has b🎃een in exceptional form in the ODI series, excelling in all facets of the game. He has scored 77 runs (33 & 44) in the first two matches, hitting ꦅat least one six in each game. Additionally, he has picked up at least one wicket per match.

  • India to win the match, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to score over 24.5 runs each: 1.75 (1xBet)

Virat Kohli boasts a phenomenal record against Sri Lanka but has struggled to convert starts into big scores in this series. Meanwhi🐷le, Indian captain Rohit Sharma has been in sublime form, scoring fifties in both matches.

With the series on the line, we expect match-winning performances from both Kohli and Rohit and backꩲ India to level the series.

  • Sri Lanka vs. India Win Probability ODI Series: Sri Lanka (10%), India (90%)

  • Team India has won their last five ODIs against Sri Lanka.
  • India last lost a bilateral ODI series against Sri Lanka in 1997 and has since won 11 ODI series and drawn two.
  • India boasts a formidable batting unit and a quality spin bowling attack.
  • Sri Lanka lost the T20I series 3-0 and will look to bounce back. But their middle-order batters will be under the scanner.
  • The pitch at the Premadasa Stadium in Colombo favours bowlers. In the last five ODIs at this venue, the average 1st innings score has been 179.
SRI LANKA vs INDIA ODI SERIES PREDICTION

India has won their last five ODI series against Sri Lanka;ꦑ their last series loss dates back to 1997. This highlights the dominance the men in blue have displayed over the Lankans. India are the clear favourites, courtesy of a few factors: a balanced squad, an in-form batting unit, Sri Lanka's heavy reliance on their top three batters, and the absence of their key fast bo﷽wlers.

We at Cricket Betting Advice reckon that India will come out unscathed and deal a 3-0 whitewash to the island nation.

Key Players

Sri Lanka

  • Pathum Nissanka: He has been the most reliable batter for Sri Lanka at the top of the order. Against India, he has scored 80 runs in four matches.
  • Sadeera Samarawickrama: The 28-year-old ‘keeper batter holds a phenomenal record in Colombo, amassing 271 runs in eight matches at an average of 38.70. With recent lapses in the middle order during the T20I series, Samarawickrama will aim to deliver match-winning performances and cement his place in the Lankan middle order.
  • Wanindu Hasaranga: The former captain failed to meet expectations in the T20I series and will be eager to redeem himself in the ODIs. He has been impressive with the ball in 2024, claiming 17 wickets in just six matches, while also contributing with the bat. Hasaranga will be crucial to Sri Lanka's success in the absence of their main fast bowlers.

India

  • Rohit Sharma: He has amassed 1,864 runs in 52 matches against the Lankans, averaging a formidable 45.46. However, his record in Colombo is less impressive, with 305 runs in 12 matches at an average of 27.7. In fact, the island nation is one of the few places where he averages below 30 and will look to improve his record this time.
  • Virat Kohli: India's leading run-getter in ODIs against Sri Lanka (among active players), Kohli boasts a phenomenal record against the hosts (2594 runs in 53 matches). He has an affinity for piling on the runs in Colombo, a venue where he has scored 366 runs in just four matches at a stupendous average of 183.00. The legend will look to stamp his dominance on this series.
  • Mohammad Siraj: Leading the pace attack in Bumrah’s absence, Siraj has a formidable record against Sri Lanka (19 wickets in just six matches). His last outing in Colombo was particularly devastating, ending with match figures of 6/21. Siraj will be eager to replicate that performance and rattle the Lankan batters yet again.
