SL vs ENG: Player to Watch Out For

Probable Best Batter

Kusal Mendis played a good hand in the first game, and he has been in good form on this tour. Phil Salt is a dangerous batter at the top, and his batting style puts pressure on the opposition.

Probable Best Bowler

Adil Rashid is a very tough bowler in these conditions, and his ability to spin the ball both ways makes him hard to play off. For Sri Lanka, Matthesha Pathirana bowled a brilliant spell in the first game, and in death overs, he can be excellent.

Today Match Prediction: England's batting strength and having so many power hitters are the reasons that we predict them to win this game.
