- Dismiss openers as early as possible:
Quinton De Kock and Hashim Amla aren’t just two openers, but two record making machines. The dynamic pair has piled up records with ease and grace and never have they looked in a position of discomfort. While both can play extremely attacking cricket, it is the style of the two which varies immensely. Dismissing the two as early as possible will be Sri Lanka’s top most priority as once they are set, it isn’t long before carnage is unleashed upon the opposition. The likes of Nuwan Kulasekara and Lasith Malinga will have to make the new ball count at any given cost.
