Wanindu Hasaranga made headlines with his outstanding performances. He was the highest wicket-taker in the series with 7 wickets in 3 matches. He will, once again, be Sri Lanka’s biggest bet in the bowling department. Hasaranga will be supported by the likes of Akila Dananjaya and Rajapaksa in the spin-bowling department.

Dushmantha Chameera would lead the pace bowling department. He picked 4 wickets in 3 matches in the recently concluded ODI series. The likes of Avishka Fernando, Dhanajaya de Silva, Rajapaksa and Asalanka will hold key in batting.

Besides, the presence of Aiden Markram, Janneman Malan, Reeza Hendricks, and Russie Van der Dussen make it a strong batting unit.
