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.
Ben Duckett ENG | BAT
Ben Duckett scored a quickfire 32 in the first game and followed it up with a 63-ball 67 in the second. He will have an important role to play in the power play overs.
Dunith Wellalage SL | BOWL
Dunith Wellalage will be a key player in this clash because of his all-round abilities. The all-rounder scored an unbeaten 16 in the last game and picked up three wickets. Another performance like this could give Sri Lanka a massive series win.
Will Jacks ENG | BAT
Will Jacks, who picked up a five-wicket haul in the first ODI, has scored handy runs with the bat in both matches this series.
Gus Atkinson ENG | ALL-ROUNDER
Gus Atkinson can be a player to watch out in this game. He has bowled well with the new ball and also at the back end. The 28-year-old can also contribute with vital runs down the order.
