Just 12 runs need in 32 balls while Sri Lanka has 8 wickets in hand i think so it will be easy for it to beat New Zealand after very poor performance into first and second match but today it is brilliant well done Sri Lanka for this comeback.
Today can't believe the SL batting performance and luckily I didn't bet on this match, otherwise I might have lost the bet because surely I would have gone with NZ. Now this series become 2-1. Solid batting performance from SL team, Gunathilaka made sure NZ's bowlers didn't have any chance, by scoring a fast fifty and set things up for the rest of the batsmen well.
Yes many gamblers wrongly bet on this match as they were very much negative with Sri Lanka's performance, which was based on second ODI of this series. Now Sri Lanka is staying alive in this series by preventing the host to capture ODI series too.
I do not think this winning of Sri Lanka will not affect the series performance for New Zealand. They got 2 more chance to clinch this series. At the same time it would be much harder for Sri Lank to win both of the remaining two matches against the hosts.
ya it is true that the openers of sri lanka performed so strongly and gave a good start for the match and they won the match, but todays ground was chasing friendly before this 4 matches won by 2nd batting chasing score were 277, 290 313, 320 all were high score even then they got chased and sri lanka batsman have done it
now the series is new zealand 2-1 .
