After winning the T20I series 2-1, the Indian Women's team has already bagged the three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka with one match to go. When they take the field on Thursday, they would want to complete a clean sweep something they failed to do in the T20Is. However, the hosts would want to take a consolation win in this match to end the series on a high.
Ahead of the two side's face-off at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, here is a statistical overview of the important milestones in the match.
1. Toss Prediction
In the ongoing India tour of Sri Lanka, India captain Harmanpreet Kaur has won 3 tosses out of the 5. On the other hand, the home team has won 2 tosses. So based on this stat, in the sixth and final white-ball fixture of this tour, India are predicted to win the toss.
2. Win Possibility
While Chamari Athapaththu did manage to stun the Indian team with her brilliant innings of an unbeaten 80 off 48 balls which helped the home team taste their only win of this limited-overs series, barring that it has pretty much been all about India's dominance. So based on this stat, India start as favourites to win this fixture.
3. Team of the Day
The Team of the Day is India. They are the overwhelming favourites based on the head-to-head stat as well. The two sides have met in a total of 21 T20Is with the Indian eves winning on 16 of these matches. Sri Lanka clinched 4 matches with a solitary game ending without any result.
4. Powerplay Score (First 10 overs)
The average score at the end of the first 10 overs for the Sri Lankan team in the two ODIs played so far is 30. Meanwhile, the Indian team has scored an average of 46 in the first 10 overs in this ODI series. So predicting India to score over 45 in the third ODI in the first powerplay while Sri Lanka could end up with fewer runs.
5. Average Score
The Sri Lankan team have managed two scores in the range of 170 in the series. That is certainly a combination of disciplined Indian bowling and an ordinary Sri Lankan batting effort. Having said that these are the only two Women's ODIs that have happened here and the average first innings score in ODIs here is 172.
