No more speculations, no more ifs and buts. The semifinalists for the ICC World Cup 2019 are clear which means the India versus Sri Lanka game is nothing but a dead rubber.
However, the contest still promises to be an exciting experience as players from both sides are at the peak of their games. India will be eager to gain the momentum back before the semi-finals while Sri Lanka will hope to finish the tournament on a sweet moment.
Watch out for these three players in this contest.
#3. Lasith Malinga:
The legend of Malinga was born in World Cup and now Malinga is playing most probably his last World Cup game. Can he bring things to full circle by signing off with a memorable performance?

#2. Virat Kohli:
The Indian skipper has scored five fifties in this World Cup but the triple-figure mark has still eluded him. Can he break the shackles and score a hundred? He will certainly back himself as he has a splendid record against Sri Lanka.

#1. Rohit Sharma
With hour hundreds, the Indian opener has set the World Cup on fire. But one thing he will be disappointed with will be the fact that he hasn’t converted his hundreds into big hundreds.
But now he has a big opportunity as he faces Sri Lanka against whom he has already hammered two double hundreds. Are we in for the third one?
