Grand League punts
> In the bilateral series between these two sides in June, Kusal Mendis was Sri Lanka’s best batter against the Afghanistan spinners, scoring 69 runs in 76 balls without getting dismissed. The Lankan skipper loves batting against Afghanistan. His last 5 scores against Afghanistan read: 92, 11*, 78, 11, 67. Mendis might be in the midst of a slump but he's a quality player, and it'd be worth taking a punt on him as captain for Monday's clash.

Sri Lanka likely XI: Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Perera, Kusal Mendis (c & wk), Sadeera Samarawickrama, Charith Asalanka, Dhananjaya de Silva, Angelo Mathews, Maheesh Theekshana, Kasun Rajitha, Dushmantha Chameera, Dilshan Madushanka
