Gunathilaka, who missed Sunday's match with a grade 1 hamstring strain, seems unlikely to be available though, according to Attanayake. Although she described Gunathilaka's as a "very minor injury", the original prognosis had been that Gunathilaka would miss this series, in order to ensure his availability for the Lanka Premier League and the Asia Cup coming up.

But there is still an outside chance he could play. "The team physio and doctor will continue to assess him to see if he can be fit, but right now he is out," Attanayake said. Gunathilaka is set to undergo a fitness test on Tuesday, before the match.

Hasaranga meanwhile has a "really good prognosis" and his "symptoms are getting better," Attanayake said, but may only be risked if Sri Lanka really feel they need him. With the hosts now 2-1 up in the series, and both legspinner Jeffrey Vandersay and left-arm spinner Dunith Wellalage having bowled well in the two previous games, Sri Lanka may just choose to give their premier spinner an extra game off.

The last two ODIs are set to be played in Colombo on Tuesday and then Friday.
