They had a new, aggressive mindset where they played out a new cricket in this format. While batting first, they posted 303 runs for the loss of 7 wickets in their 50 overs, thanks to the brilliant half-centuries from Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis. With their brilliant bowling, they bowled out the hosts for just 262 runs. Dushmantha Chameera was the best bowler, taking four wickets to his name. A win in this match will help them seal the series and strengthen their spot in the men's ODI ranking for the upcoming ODI World Cup 2027.
