A rampaging India will fancy their chances of completing a 5-0 whitewash of Sri Lanka when they face the beleaguered hosts in the fifth and final ODI here today. Virat Kohli & Co. already swept the Test series 3-0, and given their dominant run on this trip, would like to sweep the ODI series as well.


Sri Lanka are in danger of losing a second successive ODI series to India by a 5-0 margin. The last time these two sides played a bilateral series in November 2014, a depleted Lankan side lost 5-0 in India.


Their fortunes haven’t changed much since and another loss would be a serious body blow for the hosts in what has been a traumatic summer of cricket. They have already foregone the opportunity to automatically qualify for the 2019 ODI World Cup by failing to win two matches in this series.

In-form opener Shikhar Dhawan will not be a part of India’s final ODI and lone T20 international after he left for India to attend his ailing mother, the BCCI said.
