Key Players

Moeen Ali with the kind of form he displayed in IPL will be crucial. Also in the ongoing T20 Blast, he is scoring runs. Moeen Ali can make a lot of difference with the kind of form he is in. He is an explosive batsman plus handy as an offspinner. Moeen Ali can contribute a few overs if a regular bowler is having a rough day. It will be interesting to see where he bats for England in the batting order. Will he get a promotion in batting or will bat as usual lower down the order.

Chris Woakes might be another pivotal player in this setup. With his quality and past record against Sri Lanka, he will be a key player. Woakes is able to pile some runs. Also, his medium pace can trouble Sri Lankan batsmen.

Kusal Perrera and Nuwan Pradeep

The Sri Lankan team is an inexperienced side. It is difficult to point out any key player from their side. In my opinion, the skipper will be an important player for their side. He will have to lead the team with an example. His responsibility is to give an aggressive start to the innings. Also, he should play long innings for the team. His glovework will be also important.

With his experience, Nuwan Pradeep should pick up some wickets at the start for visitors. He should dismiss batsmen with his seam movement. His wickets will help the Lankan team to achieve success.
