As far as their batting is concerned, they have the experience of Kusal Perera and Dinesh Chandimal along with the explosive Avishka Fernando and Bhanuka Rajapaksa in the middle order. Another southpaw who has been impressive for Sri Lanka in the last few series has been Charith Asalanka who adds a lot of value to their middle order.
