Sri Lanka has lost the T20I series 2-1 and the ODI series 2-0 so far on this tour, but a win in this match would be huge for them with the ODI World Cup coming up later this year. India, on the other hand, is looking to bolster their squad and finalise their best XI ahead of the World Cup. Despite the fact that this is a dead rubber, both teams and their players will take this match seriously and look to make a name for themselves with the big tournament coming up.
The 3rd ODI between India vs Sri Lanka will take place on January 15th, 2023 at Greenfield International Stadium, Thiruvananthapuram.

India vs Sri Lanka Prediction
India has been on a roll in the white ball format for a long time, but they have been hampered by key player injuries. They will look to bolster their squad ahead of the World Cup, and players will vie for selection. So far, the Sri Lanka team has been inconsistent and led by individual brilliance. We believe India will win this match. Check out the odds at Cricbaba!
India is the favourite to beat Sri Lanka at the odds of 1.20.
India vs Sri Lanka Most Recommended Player for Bet:
KL Rahul scored 64 runs in the previous match. His half-century threw much impact on the game, and hence India just not won the game but also attained a series. So, we recommend backing him as the highest run-scorer against Sri Lanka.
