5 things that went wrong for Sri Lanka in the third ODI

Lack of self-belief

Sri Lanka have lost belief in themselvesIf Sri Lanka do not want to be at the receiving end of another whitewash, they need to play with a bit of confidence and self-belief. Not only are they losing matches, they are losing matches they could have won.

A certain Rohit Sharma, who averaged only 12 in Sri Lanka until this ODI series, scored back to back fearless knocks. That is proof that Sri Lanka are playing without any self-belief, which is making the job easier for the visitors.

They’ve lost belief in themselves, and the fans have lost faith in their stars. Sri Lankan cricket, once a force to reckon with, is possibly in its lowest phase ever.
