It is very worst series of Sri Lanka, the team lost their Test series and they can’t be able to defeat India even in a match of the India tour of Sri Lanka 2017 yet.
Because of the third ODI incident, Sri Lanka have a pressure to win the fourth match to cool down their fans. At the same time, India is still in a good phase in all three departments. The bad performance of Sri Lanka in past matches also a reason for the India’s victory. India team have a chance to win the fourth ODI if they played with the similar team and their way of cricket.
As per the review of last three One Day International matches between India vs Sri Lanka, it was seems that someone taken responsibility for the team’s win. It looks great for the India cricket team and their coordination works well. Today’s match is the 300th One Day International match of the former Indian Captain MS Dhoni. This is one of the biggest number of his 12-year cricket career. So, the India team will try their best as recent matches against Sri Lanka to win today’s match, then it will turn as a unforgettable memory of MS Dhoni.
