World Cup 2019, India vs Sri Lanka: 5 Sri Lankan players to watch out for

#1 Lasith Malinga

Lasith Malinga helped Australia

One of the greatest fast bowlers of the present generation, Lasith Malinga has proved in the ongoing World Cup that he still has some magic left in him and can trouble the best of batsmen with his toe-crushing yorkers and deceptive slower deliveries.

The spearhead of the Sri Lankan bowling attack, Malinga has a total of 12 wickets from six matches and with an ability to change matches single-handedly, Malinga will be Sri Lanka's 'X-factor' against India.

Sri Lanka will be looking toward Lasith Malinga to provide initial breakthroughs that can expose the Indian middle order. With 43 wickets against India from 39 matches, the pace spearhead can be expected to rattle the Indian batting order.

With this match in all likelyhood Malinga's last ever World Cup game, the pacer will be keen on finishing off on a memorable note and lead Sri Lanka to a win.
