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

2. Angelo Mathews

The Sri Lankan captain has made vital contributions in this series and has led from the front. He has contributed with the bat whenever he has had the opportunity, but has made the biggest difference with his bowling effort. He has been very effective with his slow medium pace and picked up four wickets against the West Indies in a match-winning effort.

He is Sri Lanka’s highest wicket taker in the tournament so far and has the best economy rate, giving away just 3.25 runs an over, even trumping India’s miserly Bhuvneshwar Kumar. He gave away just five runs in five overs for one wicket in the rain-interrupted match against India.
