West Indies tri-series 2013 final: India vs Sri Lanka - Five players to watch out for

4. Rangana Herath

The off-spinner has defied his critics by taking full advantage of the conditions in the West Indies. He has found turn on the dry surfaces and has not been hindered by the lack of pace. He was ripping through India’s batting line-up in the last game when rain interrupted the match. He has five wickets in the last two matches that he has played against India and that stat indicates that he will be a potent threat.

The familiarity between these two sides means that the Indian batsmen read Lasith Malinga through and through. Herath has received quality support from captain Angelo Matthews, who helps the spinner shackle the opposition’s scoring rate in the middle overs with his slow-medium pace.
