England vs Sri Lanka 3rd ODI Match Preview
The ODI series reaches The Oval level at 1-1. England controlled the opener in Durham, but Sri Lanka produced a far stronger batting display at Headingley and defended 321 to turn Sunday’s match into a genuine decider.
Kusal Mendis set the standard for Sri Lanka in the second ODI, while Dunith Wellalage again influenced the match with the ball. The visitors will look for another composed top-order performance against an England attack led by Jofra Archer, Gus Atkinson and Josh Tongue.
England must adjust without Jos Buttler, who has been ruled out of the final ODI through injury. Dan Lawrence has been called into the squad, while Harry Brook, Joe Root, Ben Duckett and Will Jacks remain central to the home side’s batting plans.
The Oval can reward positive stroke play, but early movement and the longer contest may still bring bowlers into the game. The final playing elevens will be confirmed at the toss.
Sri Lanka Level the ODI Series at Headingley
Sri Lanka posted 321/6 in the second ODI, with captain Kusal Mendis leading the innings. England started quickly but finished on 305/9 as Sri Lanka held their nerve to win by 16 runs.
The result cancelled out England’s 89-run victory in Durham and leaves the teams level at 1-1. Sunday’s match at The Oval will therefore decide the three-match ODI series.
