SL vs AUS 3rd ODI Predictions & Betting Tips

Sri Lanka will take on Australia in the third ODI of the five-match series at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. The match is scheduled to be played on June 19. Ahead of the kickoff, I have assorted three of the best money making betting tips for you from the SL vs AUS head-to-head contest.

Sri Lanka batted well in the 1st ODI and managed a target of 301 runs, batting first in the match. The match had to be reduced which went in favour of the Aussies who clutched a 2 wicket win. A win in the second match for the Lankans levelled the playing field for them and should entice a lot of confidence onto the Sri Lankan squad. In their last game, Australia were chasing 216 in 43 overs after rain curtailed the first innings. They only got to 189. The bowlers ruled all day on a slow Pallekele pitch, but in the end Sri Lanka's bowlers ruled harder and managed to win the game by 26 runs. For their third brawl, I have collected the best betting tip from the SL vs AUS match prediction. Let us take a better look at them.

SL vs AUS Team Bet:

Mentioned below is the top team betting tip from the SL vs AUS match prediction.

Sri Lanka to score over 27.5 runs before 1st dismissal

In the first ODI of the series, Sri Lanka managed to start pretty well with the partnership between M Gunathilaka and P Nissanka who presented an innings of 115 runs together before Gunathilaka lost his wicket in the 20th over. This reminds us of the last team the sides met in 2019 where D Karunaratne and Kusal Perera scored 97 and 52 runs individually and sustained the opening partnership for 115 runs. In the second match of the series, SL established 26 runs before losing their first wicket. This almost touches our desired target, hunting towards a great potential for the Lankan openers to provide a fantastic start to SL’s innings. Gunathilaka and Nissanka average at 36.50 and 35.00 in the series currently and are perfectly capable of batting against the Australian bowlers to score over 27 runs before the first dismissal in the SL vs AUS head-to-head match. Pari Match offers the odds of 1.87 for the same and you should take it for a great return.

SL vs AUS Player Bets:

I have picked a batter to score low while the other to score high from the SL vs AUS match prediction.

Marnus Labuschagne to score under 27.5 runs

Marnus Labuschagne has been a renowned pick in the longer formats for Australia in the international cricket circuit. He has a ton of experience in the domestic circuit where he amassed 1998 runs in 59 List-A games with an average of 35.05. He has featured in 17 ODI games and scored 603 runs with an average of 35.47. This may not look like a strong betting tip with regard to our betting tip, the next few lines might convince you otherwise. The batter was picked for the ODI series against Sri Lanka and spoiled the bed with his mere totals in the two games he played. He scored 24 and 18 runs in the two games. This sums up to 42 runs with an average of 21 runs per game and a strike rate of 68.85. Earlier this year, he batted in a series against PAK and scored 25, 59 and 4 runs in the three ODIs. With averaging at 39.41 in 2020 to 26.00 in 2022, Labuschagne has dropped down in terms of his form and seems to be struggling with the bat lately. With that mentioned, he will go in as the best batting prospect from the SL vs AUS match predictions and you should capitalise on this betting tip as Pari Match offers the odds of 1.87 for him to score under 27.5 runs.

Kusal Mendis to score over 25.5 runs

Blessed with a compact technique, an aggressive impulse, and an iron resolve, Kusal Mendis rose rapidly through the age-group system, and quickly became one of the most promising young batsmen in the world. Kusal Mendis played 110 List-A games till date where he managed to score 3178 runs with an average of 30.26. He made his ODI debut in 2016 and has played 82 ODIs since then. He managed to score 2419 runs in those innings with an average of 31.01. This should already encourage you to pick this hot betting tip. Mendis amassed 122 runs in 2 games with an average of 122.00 and a strike rate of 95.31. He scored an unbeaten innings of 86 runs off 87 balls in the 1st match followed by a knock of 36 runs in the 2nd game. He smashed 10 boundaries and 2 sixes in his innings. The most encouraging fact would be his track record playing against Australia where he scored 326 runs in 8 games with an average of 46.57, laced with three half-centuries. He averaged at 20.33 in 2021 which amped up in 2022 to 47.75. The sides played last in 2019 against each other where Mendis scored 30 runs in the game. All the facts hint towards Mendis’ explosive form in the current series. Pari Match offers the odds of 1.87 for Kusal Mendis to score over 25.5 runs in the SL vs AUS head-to-head encounter. You should pick this betting tip for a favourable outcome.
