Bangladesh will be hoping to do a clean sweep against a listless Sri Lanka in the final ODI of the three-match series. Both teams will be targeting World Cup Super League points as the hosts are top of the points table with 50 points, while Sri Lanka remains bottom. A brilliant 125 by Mushfiqur Rahim and a disciplined bowling display helped the hosts to clinch the rain-affected second match and their first series win over the Island nation. It was also their fifth successive ODI win at home in 2021.
Team news
Mohammad Saifuddin, substituted after suffering a blow to his head during the second ODI, will face a fitness test on Friday morning. Meanwhile, Mohammad Naim and Soumya Sarkar could find a place in the final squad. Two batting collapses will force Sri Lanka to make a few changes. They are likely to rope in Niroshan Dickwella, who last played an ODI in 2019. All-rounder Ramesh Mendis is poised to make his ODI debut after an impressive performance in the recently concluded Test match against Bangladesh.
