Sri Lanka and West Indies will be playing against each other in the third and final match of the ODI series. This match will be played at the Pallekele Cricket Stadium in Pallekele, Sri Lanka, on October 26 at 2:30 PM IST. 

West Indies won the first match of the tour and took the lead in the T20 series. However, they lost the two games and the series. Sri Lanka maintained their form in the ODI series and won the first two matches. The Charith Asalanka-led side has already sealed the series and will aim for a clean sweep with a win in this game.

Rovman Powell and his men will be looking to win the match and stop the clean sweep. The visitors will hope to walk away with their heads held high by winning the series' last game.

How Will The Pallekele Cricket Ground Pitch Behave?

The pitch at Palleke Stadium has been slow for the batters in the first innings. The spinners have had help from the track, and the batters have struggled to hit their shots. However, the dew coming in the pitch has looked better for batting in the second innings. In both cases, the team chasing reached the target rather easily.
