Sri Lankan pace bowling was not so impressive in this series so far. Leg-spinner Wanindu Hasaranga and Off-spinner Maheesh Theekshana have been brilliant, mostly in power play. They will command the Sri Lankan Spin attack.
Adam Milne impressed in the last match where he did his career best bowling performance by grabbing 5 wickets. Again he will be part of the playing XI and he has the ability to handle the Sri Lankan batsmen. Ben Lister and Ish Sodhi are also reliable for the hosts.
