Whoever looks in good form on that particular day, we just try to rotate the strike and let them play as many balls as they can. Smriti Mandhana is hitting the spinners quite well, so that is a positive sign. We just try to give a good start to the team which results in a good innings and in the end we are able to put a good score on the board. So, our aim is just to perform well for our team and support our strengths. I think we have got used to the conditions here, maybe that’s why we are able to run well between the wickets. But we just try to take the first run fast, because the field here is very big, it is about 70 meters, if I am not mistaken. So we try to take the first run quickly. Very difficult to hit a six, but keen to take quick singles.

I have spent most of my life there.” “What a story that would be” – Ben Curran Ben Curran realises that playing for Zimbabwe will be a great achievement for him. Interestingly, next year England will host Zimbabwe and Ben might have the opportunity to play against one of his brothers. He said, “What a story it would be if it happened. Probably a little weird, special and mixed emotions. But it would be even more special for my mother.” “I will complete the journey like my father” – Ben Curran Ben Curran’s journey is similar to that of his father Kevin Curran, who played cricket for both Zimbabwe and Northamptonshire.

My dad played for Northampton and now I can play for Zimbabwe, where he played and coached.” Ben Curran is currently preparing for the upcoming season with the Mid-West Rhinos and is focused on performing consistently. He said- “I just have to perform and take care of what is in my control. That will give me the best chance to move forward.”

IND vs SL 3rd ODI: These 3 big changes are decided in Team India for the third ODI
IND vs SL 3rd ODI: The third and final match of the ODI series between India and Sri Lanka will be played on August 7 at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Gautam Gambhir, KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer (Source X) IND vs SL 3rd ODI: The third and final match of the ODI series between India and Sri Lanka will be played on August 7 at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. The Indian team has suffered a setback in this series and now they will have to win the last match at all costs to end the series on a draw. Therefore, Team India needs to correct the mistakes made in the last two matches and then enter the field. The repair work has to be done by making changes in the team’s playing eleven. Accordingly, there is every possibility of 3 big changes in Team India for the third ODI match. Riyan Parag replaces Shivam Dubey The inclusion of Riyan Parag in the playing eleven in place of Shivam Dubey in the third ODI will strengthen the team. This is because the Colombo pitch helps spin bowlers. Dubey has performed well in the past as well, but considering the circumstances, Riyan Parag may be a better option for the third ODI. Apart from this, Riyan Parag can also be selected in the team in place of Shreyas Iyer. Rishabh Pant may replace KL Rahul Wicketkeeper batsman KL Rahul has disappointed in this ODI series. KL Rahul could not contribute much in both the matches of the series. Rahul scored 31 runs in the first ODI but failed to lead the team to victory. In the second match, Rahul faced only two balls and got out. In such a situation, Rishabh Pant can get a chance as a wicketkeeper in place of KL Rahul. With Rishabh coming into the team, the selection of left-handed batsmen in the playing 11 will also increase. It is necessary to give a chance to Harshit Rana There is not much help for fast bowlers in Colombo, apart from this Arshdeep Singh and Mohammad Siraj have managed to take two wickets each so far. In such a situation, it could be a good plan to include young fast and aggressive bowler Harshit Rana in the team in his place. Harshit Rana caught everyone’s attention with his good cutter and slow bowling in the IPL. Not only this, Rana can also contribute through batting. In such a situation, there is every possibility that Rana will enter the team for the third match. See Also: IND vs SL Dream11 Prediction 3rd ODI in Hindi
