New Delhi: Bangladesh and Sri Lanka will face each other in the last ODI of a 3-match series at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium on Friday. Bangladesh has already won the series by winning the two previous matches. Team led by Tamim Iqbal won the first match by 33 runs and then registered a crushing 105 runs victory in the second match.
Mushfiqur Rahim slammed a century earlier in the second match, while bowlers also joined the party, as Mustafizur Rahman came back to his best. Bangladesh will enter the match in hopes to complete a clean sweep.
On the other hand, Sri Lanka’s young and new squad has failed to deliver so far. Only players with notable contributions are Wanindu Hasaranga and Dushmantha Chameera. The batting unit of the Sri Lankans has failed miserably so far. They would want to end the series on a high note with Kusal Perera being the key batsman.
Both teams will try and win the match, with which the entertaining series will come to an end.

Pitch Report
The pitch has proved to be slightly slow in the previous matches with rain also adding to the problems. Still, the track offers some amount of swing in the early overs. Fast bowlers should ideally switch to off-pace deliveries. Spinners will have an exciting day at the work as the contest between bat and ball is the one to watch out for in the middle overs. Both teams would want to bat first as the pitch is slow, anything above 250 would be sufficient.
