Average – 26.41
2) Kusal Perera – Perera bats left-handed and is a daring, bold, and hyper-aggressive batsman in the Sri Lankan batting order. He has a knack for big runs with his short-arm punches, pick-up hits, and square cutters.

Runs – 2626
Average – 24.09
Top 4 Batsman Picks
1) Avishka Fernando – This right-handed batsman takes the first pitch for his squad. He was hailed as a youthful prodigy who was destined for greatness from the outset.

Matches – 67
Runs – 1531
Average – 25.51
2) Dasun Shanaka – As a hard-hitting all-rounder who juggles between being a lower-order impetus and a good medium pacer who can swing the ball, he is another product of the Srilankan squad.
Matches – 121
Runs – 2532
Average – 29.90
3) David Warner – The left-handed batter remains a bowling nightmare, and his newfound ability to bat long and deep into an innings is possibly his most valuable quality. Without a doubt, he will be a key player for Australia in the upcoming match.
Matches – 307
Runs – 10033
Average – 37.43
4) Aaron finch – He’s a hard-hitting top-of-the-order batter who’s known for his ability to close out games. He started off as a middle-order batsman, but he was frequently used as a floater, batting up the order for the team.
Matches – 325
Runs – 9845
Average – 34.30
Top 4 Bowler Picks

Matches – 105
Wickets – 150
Economy – 7.26
2) Josh Hazlewood – He has suffocated countless batters with his steady precision, and he has also tried to adjust his arsenal to the format. He’ll be eager to make an impact and demonstrate his bowling variety.

Economy – 7.58
4) Lahiru Kumara – Kumara is a powerful right-arm quick bowler with high pace and the ability to swing the ball both ways. He came up via under-19 system.

Wickets – 33
Economy – 7.69
Top 2 All-rounder Picks
1) Wanidu Hasaranga – Hasaranga is a hard-hitting middle-order batsman who can make a lot of runs with his leggies. His all-around abilities could be vital in Sri Lanka’s efforts to turn things around following a streak of poor results.
Matches – 69
Runs – 848
Average – 18.43
Wickets – 89
Economy – 6.42
