Kumara has been exhibiting first rate type in home cricket, having taken 9 wickets in his 4 most-recent Record A matches. Kamindu has made it to the ODI squad after impressing in the T20Is.
Whereas Kumara is essentially the most skilled fast in the assault, Sri Lanka have loads of seam choices, although they don’t have the slingers Matheesha Pathirana, or Nuwan Thushara, regardless of the latter having been excellent in the third T20I in opposition to Bangladesh. They as an alternative have Pramod Madushan, left-armer Dilshan Madushanka, and all-round choices Chamika Karunaratne and Janth Liyanage. There isn’t a Dasun Shanaka.
On the spin entrance, Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana are anticipated to be the bowlers likeliest to play in the XI, however Akila Dananjaya can also be in the combo, as is left-arm spinning allrounder Dunith Wellalage.
Sri Lanka have gained each their ODI collection this yr, at house in opposition to Zimbabwe, then Afghanistan. That is their first abroad collection in 2024. The primary of three ODIs shall be performed in Chattogram on Wednesday.
