#3. Angelo Mathews was the only silver lining for Sri Lanka today
The Sri Lankan team performed terribly today with almost every single player underperforming. The bowling was disastrous with Lasith Malinga going for 82 runs which was his most expensive 10-over spell since 2015. The likes of Vishwa Fernando, Malinda Pushpakumara went for aplenty while Akila Dananjaya who was the Man of the Match in the 2nd ODI went for nearly 7 an over.

The batting was lacklustre as well with the top order disappointing and most of the remaining batsmen batting poorly. The only player who seemed to put up a fight for Sri Lanka today was Angelo Mathews. The all-rounder bowled a very economical spell of 2/24 from his 6 overs that included the wickets of Hardik Pandya and Rohit Sharma on successive deliveries.
Mathews played well with the bat also as his 70 helped Sri Lanka cross 200.
