Srilanka vs Australia Prediction: Sri Lanka to claim the ODI series with a victory in Colombo

Another one-day rest between the ODIs and Sri Lanka is giving a tough fight to the Australians. Will the Aussies level up the series and set up a finale on 24th June or will Sri Lankans wrap up the tournament with a newfound wind in their sail?

Sri Lanka has found their way back into the series after losing the first game. They have now won two games back to back and in the recent game have chased down a big total in the third game of the tournament and are growing in confidence. Australia does not seem to find an answer to the spin bowling attack that Sri Lanka possesses. The top order has settled well and we witnessed an impressive century by Nissanka. Sri Lanka has a great advantage going into the game and a chance to wrap up the tournament one game early.

Pathum Nissanka, Danushka Gunathilaka, Kusal Mendis (wk), Charith Asalanka, Dhananjaya de Silva, Dasun Shanaka (c), Chamika Karunaratne, Jeffrey Vandersay/Wanindu Hasaranga, Dunith Wellalage, Dushmantha Chameera, Maheesh Theekshana

Although Australia was able to score nearly 300 runs in the last game lack of quality bowlers was the cause of their downfall. The Australians are facing the heat of the tournament now as they are under pressure for the first time on this tour. Warner and Marsh are not firing at the top of the order which means that there is extra pressure at the middle order. Aaron Finch got a superb fifty in the last game which is a sign of improvement but Australia needs to work a lot on their bowling to have some chance of doing well in the tournament.

We are expecting a high-scoring game again in Colombo. We are expecting the team winning the toss to bat first and put some runs on the board. We are expecting Sri Lanka to come away with a victory

• Sri Lanka to win for 2.78;
• Total Over 545.5 for 1.9;
• W1 After First 15 Overs for 2.4
