World Cup 2019, India vs Sri Lanka: 5 Sri Lankan players to watch out for

#4 Avishka Fernando

Sri Lanka v West Indies - ICC Cricket World Cup 2019

Having failed to cement a place in the initial games for Sri Lanka, in three key matches, young and upcoming star Avishka Fernando has scored 183 runs at an average of 61 with knocks of 49 versus England, 30 versus South Africa and a fantastic 104 versus West Indies.

His 39-ball 49 comprising of six fours and two sixes was a testament of powerful hitting against both pace & spin while his century against the West Indies was an indication of his ability to build an innings and contribute with some crucial runs when it mattered.

His ability to handle pace and spin alike along with his new found confidence after scoring a century against West Indies for a winning cause makes him a crucial member of Sri Lanka's batting unit against a tough Indian bowling attack.
