Their first defeat had come against England U-19s. Hence, they will be under pressure to perform well in this match. Skipper Nipun Dananjaya had played a fine knock of 74 runs in the last game but, he will expect the likes of Navod Paranavithana and Ravindu de Silva to perform better in the batting department.
On the bowling front, Sri Lanka U-19s will rest their hopes on the duo of Amshi de Silva and Kavindu Nadeeshan. Silva had taken a five-wicket haul in the previous game while Nadeeshan has been a marquee player for Sri Lanka U-19s.
Talking about the England U-19s now, George Balderson and Scott Currie will try to wreak havoc once again in Coolidge. The pair had accounted for 6 Sri Lankan wickets in their previous outing.
From the batting section of England, Dan Mousley will be the player to watch out for because he has impressed a lot in this tri-nation tournament.
