New Zealand
Sri Lanka
Because of the Indian Premier League window, international cricket is going through less action. On the other side of the cricket world, Sri Lanka are on a tour of New Zealand and both teams will come face to face for the 3rd T20 at Queenstown Events Centre on Saturday. The series is currently tied at 1-1 and now the third fixture will be the decider for both teams.
New Zealand came out on top in the 2nd T20 and controlled the game from the first ball. The hosts will be motivated to win the series by registering a win in the third T20. The top bookmakersΒ in India have fantastic odds for this tie.
Sri Lanka started the T20 series with a win but lost track in the 2nd T20. However, the visitors have done well in the T20 format and will plan to score a win in the T20 series.
New Zealand will win the match
The betting tip is...
Tom Latham to score 40 plus Tom Latham to score 40 plus
New ZealandSri LankaKiwis bounced back in style in the 2nd T20 with a dominating win and levelled the series. After winning the toss, skipper Tom Latham decided to bowl first and the decision worked in favour of the team. Adam Milne picked up a fifer in 4 overs at an economy of 6.50. Batters played comfortably and without any pressure. Tim Seifert gave a good start to the team by scoring 79 runs at a strike rate of 183.72.
Skipper Tim Latham will choose the same squad for the 3rd T20.
Predicted Lineup: Tom Latham, Rachin Ravindra, Benjamin Lister, Mark Chapman, Henry Shipley, Tim Seifert, Adam Milne, Ish Sodhi, Chad Bowes, James Neesham, Daryl Mitchell
After winning the first T20, Sri Lankan batters came out as a weaker section in the 2nd T20. Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis failed to give a good start to the team. It was the middle order who somehow helped the team to reach the nominal score. However, the bowlers also failed to impress and were unable to control the run rate of the opposition.
Sri Lankan batters will have to work hard to help the team to win the T20 series.
Predicted Lineup: Maheesh Theekshana, Pramod Madushan, Dhananjaya de Silva, Dasun Shanaka, Dilshan Madushanka, Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Perera, Kusal Mendis, Wanidu Hasaranga, Charith Asalanka, Chamika Karunaratne
New Zealand have always been a strong team when it comes to T20 cricket. Sri Lanka is struggling to play good quality cricket and hence we predict a win for New Zealand in the 3rd T20 fixture.
