- Indian pacers make that new ball count:
The Indian pacers were absolutely on the money against Pakistan in their campaign opener. Sri Lanka has already dealt with a major blow as their stand in captain and most experienced batsman, Upul Tharanga was banned for the game on account of a poor over rate. India should exploit that to its advantage and cash in on that by taking on the inexperienced Niroshan Dickwella. Kusal Perera, likely to be used as an opener isn’t quite comfortable against swing, and that can be another factor which makes the Indian pacers far dangerous.
