Conditions are in focus, as Lankans desperate to end up 3-2

                Australia have fought their way back clinging the ODi series still with an match left, after a devastating performance caused them to lose the test series earlyon. But it's all the Aussie way that seems to be working them in their favour and  with stand in captain making most of his opportunities count to be able to make his mark in the short span.

              But for Sri Lanka it's not the case as their strategy is unaffected on the visitors without enough runs on the board and Injury to their captain at the situation where his services most needed affected their chances in the crucial encounter at Dambulla. Now it made them to alter their balance of the team and in the way it made the selectors to consider Tharanga and Shanaka who struck the eyes during their unpleasant England tour.

           While the experiment to bring in Fernando has been backfired with Starc's reputation in the series, now it's a time for them to test few players at the top of the order with already the Series in the visitors balcony. Although the spin attack had done a good job to extend play as possible even with few runs on the board to defend and the hosts has found good credentials in the spin department with Aponso, MDK perera and  Pathirana performing well, but actual test lies for them when they tour outside subcontinent.

            On the other hand the visitors showed resilience against  spin to some extent with quite some brisk knocks from Finch at the top of the order and the middle order made solid contributions to the victories where Bailey and Wade’s partnership laid the road alongside some encouraging knocks from Head. But it's the bowling the reason behind, who restricted the hosts to par totals in their 3 wins. Where Faulkner and Hastings outfoxed the batsmen with change in pace and Starc's has been a revolutionary in this series with providing early breakthroughs.

           It has been all the spin friendly surfaces in test series and also in first 2 ODI’s, but Dambulla had some assistance for pacers in the later 2 matches and now it's Pallekele where it known for plenty of assistance for pacers in the island the final ODI is staged. So the visitors might be licking their lips to their strength.

          Meanwhile the Lankans have to find a balance to suit the change in conditions, where it's evident from the past that pacers gonna make the rules. So it's time for revange the visitors wanna take on Lankans and at the same time the Lankans want to finish respectfully, where 3-2 looks quite a nice a way end against the top ranked Aussie.
