England v Sri Lanka 3rd T20I: Betting odds & preview

A series whitewash is on the agenda for England as they host Sri Lanka in the third and final T20I at Old Trafford.

Harry Brook's side took an unassailable 2-0 lead after handing out a six-wicket thrashing of their opponents on Thursday evening and now have the opportunity to win an eighth-straight match across all formats.

England are getting shorter with each performance and now find themselves 1/10 for victory on Saturday afternoon.

The hosts have been brilliant in all three facets of the game across the last two matches, but it is their batting that has really stood out.

Something that will be a concern to Sri Lanka as they head to a ground in Old Trafford where conditions might be in the batters' favour.

Almost 12 months to the day, England amassed their highest-ever T20I total on this very same ground, reaching 340-2 in a devastating first innings display.

England notched 254 in the opening game of this series and chased down 146 in just 12.1 overs on Thursday; Brook, Jos Buttler and Tom Banton doing most of the damage. Sri Lanka ought to be worried about wicket-keeper batsman Buttler, who is back on his home ground here and 11/4 favourite to be England's Top Batter.

Buttler is 5/6 to make 30+ runs and 12/5 to make a half-century.

There could also be a recall for man of the moment Jordan Cox. The 25-year-old earned plaudits for the way he went about batting in the recent Test series against Pakistan and he is developing into a fine multi-format player.

Player of the Match went the way of Liam Dawson in the latest game after the Hampshire spinner set about sparking a Sri Lanka batting collapse by taking an excellent 3-32. He is 12/1 to win it again, slightly bigger than the 8/1 on offer for fellow spinner Adil Rashid at 8/1.
