If Sri Lanka wants to do well at the upcoming ICC Cricket World Cup 2019, it should start against Scotland in the two-match ODI series starting on Saturday.

Calum MacLeod looking for a hattrick of ODI tons

Calum MacLeod has been a phenomenal One Day International player for Scotland. Not only he has scored hundreds in his last two ODI outings (140* & 100) but also has a stellar batting average since the start of 2017 – 63.06 in 18 knocks studded with four centuries.

 

Thisara Perera is value!

Thisara Perera has redeemed himself in the last year or so and is one of the silver linings for struggling Sri Lankan limited-over sides. Since the start of 2018, Perera has scored 500+ runs at an average of 33.00 to go with 20 wickets in 20 games.
