Batsman (Sri Lanka) will hit 100 runs @ 2.00 - Battery Bet

Sri Lanka is coming to play the ODI series with some of their experienced players in the team. They have Pathum Nissanka, skipper Charith Asalanka, Dunith Wellalage, Kamindu Mendis, and Kusal Mendis in the team. These all names carry the most experience in the team, and they can score runs for the team in pressured situations.

Kusal Mendis is the leading run-scorer for Sri Lanka in 2025. He has collected 403 runs in 8 matches at an average of 50.37 and a strike rate of 106.05. Kusal Mendis has also scored 2 centuries and half-centuries for the team.

Skipper Charith Asalanka has also done well for the team this year. In 8 ODIs, Charith Asalanka has scored 379 runs at an average of 54.14 and a strike rate of 91.76. Like Mendis, Charith Asalanka has also collected 2 centuries and half-centuries.

We can expect Kusal Mendis and Charith Asalanka to score the majority of the runs and a century in the Friday match.
