Pathum Nissanka registered a golden duck in the last game, but he is Sri Lanka's leading run-getter in the tournament. He has amassed 208 runs in six innings at an average of 41.60 and a strike rate of 152.95. The right-handed batter has notched up one fifty and one century.

Meanwhile, Shaheen Afridi wasn't having a memorable campaign till he bagged a four-for in the last game against England. The Pakistan speedster accounted for the wickets of England's top four batters. He will look to make early inroads for Pakistan, and Nissanka's wicket could be huge in the contest.
