Kusal Mendis:
Sri Lanka's senior batter Kusal Mendis was in top-notch form against Zimbabwe. The opening batter top-scored for his team with a 29-ball 54. Mendis will look to continue his good form with the bat ahead as well.
Probable best bowler
Barry McCarthy:
Ireland's pacer Barry McCarthy bowled with a lot of discipline in his previous outing. The right-arm pacer also scalped one wicket and kept the batters guessing with his line and lengths. McCarthy will want to emulate his performance in the upcoming game.
