The third one day international between Sri Lanka and New Zealand will be played on 31st December at Saxton OVAL nelson. Pitch seems to be grassy and probably will favor the faster bowlers. As usual, there will be true bounce to ensure that the batsmen will get full value for their shots. BRENDON MCCULLUM could be a real threat to the Sri Lankans however DHAMIKA PRASAD would really like to create trouble for the home batsmen. The middle order looks solid with the presence of UPUL THARANGA and DINESH CHANDIMAL. Watch out for TIM SOUTHEE and KANE WILLIAMSON as they can spring a surprise or two.
