BAN vs SL Match Prediction - Who will win today's 3rd ODI match between Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka?

Bangladesh (BAN) and Sri Lanka (SL) are all set to take on each other in the final match of the ongoing ODI series by taking on each other in the third ODI at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram on Monday, March 18. After losing the three-match T20I series 2-1, host Bangladesh came back strong to register a win in the first ODI of the ongoing series before Sri Lanka came back to clinch second ODI by three wickets and have level the series.

With the upcoming match being the decider, both teams would want to leave  no stone unturned. Sri Lanka will be confident as they are in a brilliant run while the Tigers, after facing a defeat in the last game, will be looking to bounce back strong.

Bangladesh have dropped opener Litton Das ahead of the third ODI and have lost Tanzim Hasan Sakib due to a hamstring injury. Meanwhile, the visitors also faced a huge setback after losing pace bowler Dilshan Madushanka due to an injury.
