West Indies tri-series 2013: Five reasons why Sri Lanka can win the final

3. Spin attack

Indian batsmen are the best players of spin in any given conditions, but they have looked unsure against Rangana Herath. The slow left-arm bowler, who has had his share of critics, took two wickets yesterday and was troubling the Indian batting line-up when the rain interrupted his spell. He was equally effective in the previous encounter and finished with figures of 3/37 in 10 overs.

His spin partner in that match, Senanayake, was equally successful picking up 2/46 in his 10 overs. It remains to be seen if Sri Lanka employ both spinners in the final, but that would make the best sense given the battle that has been fought so far.
