The story is the same for Sri Lanka’s Lasith Malinga, who’s also in the twilight of his career. It will be a great contest to watch for the fans as the veterans are set to collide against each other, perhaps, for the last time, as they take the field on Monday.

Carlos Brathwaite vs Nuwan Pradeep

Carlos Brathwaite is in red-hot form and his stupendous century against New Zealand is a testimony to the fact how destructive he can be.

However, with other responsibilities, his job in hand would be to tame Brathwaite early in the innings, before it gets too late.
