Kusal Perera played a brilliant innings in the last match even as wickets tumbled from the other end. SL needs him to fire at the top given the inexperience of rest of the batting line-up. Hasaranga also showed that he can contribute with the bat as a genuine all-rounder. Chameera has been SL’s biggest positive this series. He has bowled with a lot of heart and pace and has been causing problems for England batters consistently.
