#3 Upul Tharanga
In the absence of Angelo Matthews, Upul Tharanga is likely to lead the Sri Lankans similar to how he did when they toured South Africa a few months ago. The island nation lost 0-5 then and Tharanga would be itching to deliver some payback. That he might be skippering the side is an added incentive for him to upstage the Proteas.
Since making his return to the Sri Lankan ODI side, Tharanga has been a revelation at the top of the order. He has managed to score big and consistently making him a huge threat on the batting friendly strips in England. While the southpaw smashed a 119 in the recent series between the two sides, he wasn't exactly as consistent as he would have liked.
