ENG vs SL 3rd T20I Predictions & Betting Tips

England and Sri Lanka are playing out a three-match T20I series. The third T20 international of the series is also being hosted at The Rose Bowl in Southampton on June 26, Saturday. I have handpicked three of the best betting tips from the ENG vs SL 3rd T20I match prediction.

It’s 2-0 for England as they brush aside Sri Lanka once again. The second innings was reduced to 18 overs with the rain coming over into play but England won by 5 wickets. The Brits dominated at the Sophia Gardens and in Cardiff and won both games while chasing down a modest target. Although England had a shaky start, the middle-order batsman handled the job pretty well. In the first of the three-match, Jos Butler and Jason Roy took the English side to an eight-wicket win at Cardiff.

England will be looking at their third consecutive win to seal the three-match T20I series against Sri Lanka before the ODI’s commence. The Lankans have plenty to think about, especially about their batting woes. With England's win over the first two games, the Lankans would want to win the final one which would give them the much-needed motivation to head into the ODI series. In Southampton, Lanka and the Three Lions have locked horns in two T20Is with both teams coming out trumps once. Meanwhile as the team's gear up for the final T20I encounter this season take a look at the top three betting tips assorted for you from the England vs Srilanka match prediction.

ENG vs SL Player Bets:

While we will be missing out on England’s vice-captain in the coming fixture, I have managed to pick the top three player bets from the ENG vs SL match prediction. Take a look at the top ENG vs SL player betting tips.

Jason Roy to Score Over 22.5 Runs

The other English opener is my first bet from this third clash of the series between England and Sri Lanka. In the first match of the series, the English opener has scored 36 runs from just 22 balls and 17 runs off 17 balls in the second match respectively. Jason Roy has been consistent with the bat in recent times as he has scored more than 22 runs in the last 3 out of 5 T20 matches played against India. Before heading into the T20I series, Roy had a good innings playing for the domestic T20 Blast as he scored above the targeted runs in three of the four matches. The 30-year-old has come out to bat in five matches against Sri Lanka where he has hit above the 20 mark in three of these innings.

The right-handed batsman averages 32.80 against the Lankans. Under the leadership of Eoin Morgan, Roy has played 41 matches and hammered 1034 runs at 25.21. In the current calendar year, Jason Roy has played 7 international T20s at an average of 28.14. He opened the first match alongside vice captain, Jos Butler before his injury maintained a solid partnership to take down the Lankan’s. Dafabet.com has offered betting odds of 1.87 for Jason Roy to score over 22.5 runs in the ENG vs SL match prediction.

Jonny Bairstow To Score Over 26.5 Runs

Jonny Bairstow has moved up to open in Butler’s absence although he made a three-ball duck in his second encounter with the Lankan’s this season. In the first leg of the series, Bairstow was unbeaten at 13 runs as England won the opening match against Sri Lanka. Bairstow is freshly back from the England T20 Blast as the top run-scorer of his team. He has made appearances in 74 international T20’s for England and stacked up 4197 runs at 34.12.

Playing against Sri Lanka, the right-handed batsman has featured in four matches till date. Bairstow's battings techniques are best suited for the shorter format of cricket. He holds a decent record of playing at home, where he came out to bat in 19 innings and made 356 runs for his team. Under the captaincy of Morgan, Bairstow has played 34 matches and scored 814 runs at an average of 31.30.

In the current scenario, Malan has played two matches and managed to score only 7 and 4 only. This is his debut T20i series against the Lankans. Malan holds a decent average of 46.09 earned from 26 T20I matches played in his career.
