- Lasith Malinga to be at his very best:-
Sri Lanka have got a pretty decent pace battery with Suranga Lakmal, Nuwan Pradeep and their spear head Lasith Malinga. For Sri Lanka to stand against India, their spear head Malinga needs to be at his absolute best. He has been one of the best fast bowlers of this generation in this format of the game. His ability to take wickets with the new ball and give absolutely nothing away in the death overs make him a complete bowler. Sri Lanka needs him to be at his very best both with the new ball and at the death to stop the mighty Indian batting line up from getting a big score. If he bowls at his best, the others can get the inspiration and bowl around him.
