Win Projections to be updated soon
India and Sri Lanka will play their third and final One-Day International (ODI) match to extend their current three-game series. The teams will face off on Wednesday, August 7 at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Both teams gave strong efforts, but the first ODI series concluded in a draw.
Additionally, Sri Lanka put up a fantastic fight against India, defeating the team in the second One-Day International to take the lead in the series.
The Rohit Sharma-led Indian team will only be thinking on preventing Sri Lanka from winning the series as the third and final ODI draws near.
Many fans have expressed curiosity about the weather in Colombo on the day of the match as the third One-Day International draws near. Accuweather reports that there is a 42 percent likelihood of rain and a chance of thunderstorms. You should anticipate an average morning temperature of about 31 degrees Celsius, with nighttime lows of 28 degrees Celsius.
Pitch Report
It is well known that the surface of the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo helps the spinners. It should be noted that in the first One-Day International (ODI), the spinners claimed 13 of the 18 wickets that fell; similarly, the last One-Day International of the series may be anticipated. The better course of action might be to bat first and take advantage of the sluggish pitch in the second innings.

The average score on the pitch is about 170, and in the last five years of Colombo ODI matches, teams who win the toss have chosen to bat first 82% of the time. When Sri Lanka and India take the pitch for the series’ last ODI at that location, the same might occur.
