ENG vs SL 3rd Test: After the sounding victories in the first two test matches, England will be keen to whitewash the visitors Sri Lanka in the 3rd Test. The last test of the series is set to be played at the iconic Kennington Oval, London, and here are the Strongest Playing11s, Full Squads, Date and Time, Venue, and More Details on ENG vs SL 3rd Test.
England, at home, are almost as strong as a rock. India and Australia drew the series there in England but Sri Lanka have not been even close to put pressure on the home team in this entire series.
England’s vision will be clear for the third and the last Test, and that would be to close the deal with a 3-0 scoreline. Just prior to the home season of the test series, England were last on the WTC points table but now, with five consecutive wins, they are in the 4th rank in the WTC standings.
Sri Lanka will look to salvage some pride by finishing the series on a positive note. Entering as underdogs, they have yet to defy that expectation. The historic setting of The Oval adds significance to the occasion, with its distinctive pitch conditions potentially playing a crucial role in determining the final outcome.
