Key players

Kusal Perera (Sri Lanka)

Kusal Perera is someone, who can take a game down from the opposition with his audacious stroke- play in the powerplay. In the first match against Namibia, he started with two noble fours. But he got out to Ruben Trumpelmann while trying to go upstanding on the offside.
Probable Stylish bowler of the match

Wanindu Hasaranga (Sri Lanka)

Wanindu Hasaranga has tasted a lot of success in his short T20 career therefore far. In the former game against Namibia, the leg- incentive sailed well.

Not to forget that Hasaranga can apply the willow to good effect with the club as well.
