Jos Buttler and Thisara Perera are undoubtedly finishers for their respective sides. But the battle between the two will be an intriguing one. Thisara Perera is Sri Lanka’s highest wicket-taker in ODI cricket this year (24 wickets in 11 innings) while Jos Buttler has been in sensational form.

Perera has more often than not bowled well at the death and has found little support from the other end. He might be a touch expensive but he picks up wickets regularly. In fact, he has a strike-rate of 19.8 this year.

Buttler, on the other hand, has been finishing games single-handedly. He is in sublime form and is probably one of the best finishers in white-ball cricket at the moment.

Hence, the battle, Perera vs Buttler at the death could well be one of the subplots of the series.
