The 3rd ODI of the ongoing Bangladesh tour of Sri Lanka 2025 will be played on July 8. The series is leveled 1-1 after the visitors won the second ODI by 16 runs. Both matches were played in Colombo and now the decider will be played in Pallekele. Expect a fresh pitch where batting might be easier than what it was at the R Premadasa, Colombo.
Both teams have won batting first during this series, which is not surprising, given the Lankan Lions’ preference to play on turning wickets at home. Meanwhile, the Tigers, who don’t have a great record against their Asian neighbours, have a chance to win an ODI series in Sri Lanka for the first time. This is the closest they have come to doing so.
