World Cup 2019: Rating the batting of all teams in the tournament

Sri Lanka – 6/10

Sri Lanka was the only team that sprung a lot of surprises while naming their World Cup squad. Captains changed and there was a major reshuffle, especially in the batting department. The likes of Niroshan Dickwella, Dinesh Chandimal and Upul Tharanga have all been shown the door despite constantly featuring the XI.

Hence, Sri Lanka’s batting wears an inexperienced look that will surround Angelo Mathews. The all-rounder will have to shoulder a lot of responsibility with the bat. The opening combination has changed as well with Dimuth Karunaratne taking over the captaincy reins and returning to the ODI side after four years. The likes of Kusal Perera, Kusal Mendis and Dhananjaya de Silva will need to do the bulk of the scoring.
