Afghanistan have yet to win a single game on their tour to Sri Lanka. They have lost three consecutive games now, including the one-off test and ODI series. The third and final ODI will take place on February 14 (Wednesday).
Sri Lanka have a 2-0 unassailable lead, and they have a good chance to make it a 3-0 whitewash. On the other hand, Afghanistan fought hard in the first ODI, but they were completely blown away in the second one. They need a good performance as a unit to challenge a strong Sri Lankan side in their conditions.

So far, these two teams have played a total of 14 ODI matches. Sri Lanka are way ahead with nine wins as compared to Afghanistan's four victories, while one game ended with no result.
The Pallekele International Stadium is good for batting as it offers a flat wicket that doesn't have much for the bowlers. However, spinners and slow bowlers will have a little help, but batters will enjoy batting here.
