Sri Lanka vs England ODI Betting Tips - Sri Lanka to eliminate England in Tri series
Sri Lanka are tipped to win their upcoming ODI against England, having claimed victory in their last two encounters, including a notable chase of 429 runs. England, winless in the tri-series, may experiment with their line-up, while Sri Lanka could rest key players after securing a spot in the final. The Lahore venue has produced varied scores, so a run-heavy match is not certain. Additional tips include Dilshan Madushanka as Sri Lanka's best bowler and Harry Brook to score over 33.5 runs for England.
- Sri Lanka are tipped to beat England after two consecutive ODI wins.
- Sri Lanka chased 429 runs against England in their last meeting.
- England's bowlers have struggled to defend big totals in this series.
Sri Lanka have beaten England in their last two ODI meetings and chased down 429 runs against the English just a few days ago. I am backing Sri Lanka to send England home without a win.

Head-to-Head
England have won three of the last five completed ODIs between the countries while Sri Lanka have won two of those matches. Sri Lanka prevailed by two wickets with one ball remaining on 22 October after chasing England's score of 429/4.
Sri Lanka Form
Kusal Mendis' men have recovered from their opening ODI 37-run loss to Pakistan with two emphatic victories that highlighted the incredible potential of their batters.
The batting heroes of the astonishing run chase against England were Pavan Rathnayake (130), Dasun Shanaka (97), Avishka Fernando (97) and Janith Liyanage (61*).
Against Pakistan three days later Madushanka's five-wicket haul and Kamindu Mendis' unbeaten 62 completed a commanding win and was a great reply to their defeat in the opener.
England Form
England are 0-3 in the tri-series tournament and are likely to head home winless, unless Sri Lanka rest most of their key players.
Skipper Harry Brook's historic 202 was not enough as England's bowlers failed to defend their huge score of 429 at Rawalpindi. They then failed to defend a more modest 241 in Lahore, where Shadab Khan's unbeaten 113 helped Pakistan win by one wicket.
Ben Duckett's hit 105 off 111 balls and Jamie Overton's picked up 3/43 in their last defeat to Pakistan. Liam Dawson's controlled bowling (2/20) was another positive to come out of England's one-wicket defeat to Pakistan.
Predicted Lineups & Team News
Sri Lanka have already qualified for the final and may rest key players before facing Pakistan in Saturday's final. England are likely to use the dead rubber to experiment with their attack.
Lahore has produced contrasting scores this week: England were all out for 241 on Sunday while Pakistan collapsed for 110 on Tuesday, so a run-heavy prediction is not automatic.
Sri Lanka (possible XI): Kamindu Mendis, Avishka Fernando, Kusal Mendis (c), Pavan Rathnayake, Dasun Shanaka, Janith Liyanage, Sahan Arachchige, Dunith Wellalage, Eshan Malinga, Asitha Fernando, Dilshan Madushanka.
England (possible XI): Tom Banton, Ben Duckett, Joe Root, Harry Brook (c), Jordan Cox, Sam Curran, Jamie Over-ton, Liam Dawson, Gus Atkinson, Josh Tongue, Henry Crocombe.
Verdict
Sri Lanka are backed to make it two wins on the bounce against England. Dilshan Madushanka offers an appealing angle as Sri Lanka's best bowler while Harry Brook's recent runs feast make him worth backing for England.
