Malinga made a comeback to the ODIs after a long time. Though it looked like he has gained a lot of weight, he bowled brilliantly for Srilanka. He swung the bowl and also bowled his special yorkers.

Left-arm seamer for Pakistan Shaheen Afridi looked great. He can bowl yorkers at pace, also he has a good slower one.

Left-arm seamer Khaleel Ahmed had an impressive debut against Hongkong and he picked 3 wickets in the first game. In the second game as well he was looking good and batsmen were not comfortable against him. He looks like a good future prospect for India.
