Sri Lanka
Lack of runs from the middle-order has been Achilles heel for Sri Lanka so far. Senior players must raise their game for Sri Lanka if they aim to level the series.

Besides openers, rookie Ashen Bandara once again showed a lot of fight and determination and smashed his maiden half-century in his limited-overs cricket. He scored 50 runs off 60 balls with the help of four fours. It was due to Bandara efforts that the Islanders managed to push their score beyond 200-run mark.
In the bowling department, the side will be looking towards the likes of Dushmantha Chameera, Wanindu Hasaranga and Lakshan Sadakan to pick up key wickets in this contest.
