Sri Lanka will lock horns with Bangladesh in the third and final ODI on Tuesday, July 08. The series is leveled 1-1, and the third ODI promises to be a cracking affair. On the back of a stunning display by bowlers, led by Shamim Hossain's first five-wicket haul helped the visitors defend a lowish total, that gave them a 16-run win.
On both occasions, in the first as well as in the second ODI, the slow bowlers had a big say in deciding the outcome of the match. Naturally, in the third ODI, the spinners' performances will decide who clinches the series. The Lankan's take a lot of pride in not losing a home series, be it in any format. They will surely be back stronger after this small setback.
