**Series Decider: Sri Lanka and Bangladesh Clash in Final ODI**
Pallekele – Sri Lanka and Bangladesh are set to battle it out today in the decisive third and final One-Day International at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium. With the series level at 1-1, following Sri Lanka’s comfortable victory in the first ODI and Bangladesh’s spirited fightback in the second, the stakes are high.
Sri Lanka will be aiming to secure their fifth consecutive home ODI series win since August of last year. History also favors the home side, as Bangladesh have never won an ODI series on Sri Lankan soil. Bangladesh, buoyed by Tanvir Islam’s impressive five-wicket haul and Parvez Hossain Emon’s maiden half-century in the previous match, will be looking to create history.
The match is scheduled to begin at 2:30 PM IST, with the toss taking place at 2:00 PM IST. Indian viewers can catch the live telecast on the Sony Sports Network, while live streaming will be available on the SonyLIV and FanCode apps and websites.
