Swashbuckling southpaw Charith Asalanka, who was recently appointed as the Lankan T20I skipper, will lead the side in ODIs too. 

Sri Lanka's top-order looks rock-solid, studded with Pathum Nissanka, Avishka Fernando and Kusal Mendis. 

Sadeera Samarawickrama, who has evolved significantly as an ODI batter, will bat at four, followed by skipper Asalanka, Janith Liyanage and famed spin-bowling all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga.
