We are now in the third and final game of the ODI series, and Sri Lanka has already won convincingly. The Sri Lankans kept their nerve in the rain-affected second ODI, winning by three wickets. They will go for a clean sweep and capitalize on the momentum. The young New Zealand team has had trouble on this tour, and they want to avoid a run of whitewashes and finish strong in Asia. Sri Lanka has beaten teams in recent home series. They've only lost once in the last seven games, which boosts the team's confidence. In contrast, New Zealand has consistently struggled in Sri Lanka. The batting lineup has little experience in these conditions. It remains to be seen if the team can put up a strong performance in this game and avoid a series whitewash.

The pitch flattens out over time and becomes easier to bat to serve as the match progresses, allowing teams batting second to fully capitalize and post a massive total.
The weather is expected to be sunny, warm, and clear for the five-day test, with light winds at times. It should be a pleasant morning session.

New Zealanders endured a poor tour of Sri Lanka, as has the previous generation of cricketers. Their batsmen haven't timed the ball well and must adjust their approach on these slow tracks. The Sri Lankans possess an excellent home record and the ideal bowling attack for the conditions. This makes them favorites. Considering the team combination, Sri Lanka is expected to win this match.
