#4 Akila Dananjaya vs Joe Root
Akila Dananjaya has been in superb form over the last one year. It all started when he took a six-fer against India and ran through the line-up. He has troubled quite a few batsmen and has been Sri Lanka’s go-to bowler in crunch situations.
Joe Root is an excellent player of spin and he played the wrist-spin duo of Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal superbly in the 3-match ODI series in July against India (when he scored back-to-back hundreds). He has the ability to go through different gears in different circumstances.
Thus, he with Akila Dananjaya will be a riveting one. The mystery spinner seems to be on the top of his game and Root is one of the best players of spin in this England line-up. Also, Root has a very good record against the Lankans (825 runs at 58.92) and he will be eager to continue his good run.
