After two low-scoring games in Dambulla, the teams move to
three straight day-night contests at the Premadasa, and the statistics suggest
what happens in the rest of the series could lie in the starts given by the
top-order batsmen. In 60 day-night games, Nos 1-3 average 35.78 per wicket, that
figure falling to 29.84 for the next three in the line-up. With the advent of
Powerplays teams pack their top order with their most instinctive - and
destructive - stroke players. Unlike India, who have major injury woes and are
searching for rhythm, Sri Lanka are settled, with Jayasuriya and Kumar
Sangakkara in their top three.
