Rahul: Pooran is batting at 5 and is a good wicket keeper, while Hope is opening the batting and keeping 50 overs, why not Pooran to keep wickets so that Hope can only concentrate on his batting.
Tanay: "Its high time Sunil Ambris comes up with a noteworthy performance. He's got a really long run as an opener for the team but hasn't made any major contribution. With Brandon King waiting in the wings, he's got to pull up his socks and perform."
Tanay: Trust Alzarri Joseph to break any partnership or get rid of any dangerous batsmen. He's been doing this for a while now. He's turning into a very bankable bowler for this Windies team now.
Az: When the first two wickets fell in a row very early in the innings, the Avishka-Mendis partnership was built with the intent of batting through 50 overs and keeping the scoreboard ticking. This is what was lacking in the SL team for years. Good to see them back at that zone again!
Sumit T: Avishka is cementing his position in the Sri Lanka team. He is a great fighter and a great find for the SriLankan team.
Az: Either Avishka or Mendis (or both) need to stay longer and see this through. Sri Lankan middle order is prone to sudden collapses. A strong foundation would give the big hitters like Udana and Thisara to finish the innings well.
safwan: Sri lanka missed the trick of seeing off the new ball and lost two early wickets. But Mendis and Avishka have done a good job so far.
