Player Picks
Harry Brook ENG | BAT
The England captain scored a brisk half-century in the first ODI but failed to build on it in the second. Harry Brook will look to lead from the front in this decider.
Kusal Mendis SL | WK
Kusal Mendis will be high on confidence after his remarkable century in the second ODI. If he gets himself set at the crease, it will help Sri Lanka get to a formidable total.
