The final game of the three-match ODI series will be played between Sri Lanka and New Zealand on July 3rd at 10 AM IST. The Sri Lanka vs New Zealand 3rd ODI will take place at Galle International Cricket Stadium. The series is nicely poised at 1-1 and both teams would like to win the match as well as the series.
However, New Zealand bounced back in the second ODI after being thoroughly outplayed in the first ODI. Sri Lanka comfortably reached their target with nine balls to spare as there was hardly any resistance from the New Zealand bowlers. Butt, the visitors did exceptionally well in the second ODI as Sophie Devine and Amelia Kerr smashed magnificent centuries to post a target of 330.
But the hosts failed to put a great show on their bowling as the wickets fell at regular intervals and they were short of their target by 111 runs as well. But, seeing their performances so far, a thrilling contest can be expected as well.
