A quick T20 game will give England and Sri Lanka to London's Oval, as an appetizer for the 5 main course ODI match between the two teams. 

The English seem to be warmer for this game, as they want to make a fresh start after a tough failure at the T20 World Cup. In addition, they are trying to create a team tie with British fans who seem to have turned back in English cricket after recent failures.

The team chosen by the English for this game is quite nice, with players who can make big shots and make a big score, but it is not so strong at bowling and this is expected to cause problems in the course of the race if they do not come fast wickets for England.

Sri Lanka, on the other hand, goes into play with two major absences, since Sangakarra and Jayawardene went into retirement and lost their leader and one of the most important players in their history. He will still miss the Herath's bowler, who had a spectacular performance at the T20 world championship and is a blow to Sri Lanka's bowling.

After the retirements, Lasith Malinga is the leader in the Sri Lankan team, but he does not inspire confidence as a leader and is doubtful whether he can lead his team to success. Besides, this season is not in the best position and his team, the Mumbai Indians, are expected to finish in the last position of the Indian Premier League.

The pitch favors batters and wicket is a difficult affair. So I see the English having an avant-garde, since the Sri Lankan team is mainly based on its impressive bowling. However, as it is likely to have rain that will cause problems during the race, I keep my bet low.

The time for the Asian Cup final was reached and Sri Lanka and Pakistan will face it. One would say, since the big favorite of the event, India, was disappointed in the crucial games.

Sri Lanka was the most stable team in the tournament. Only wins as the final and balanced distribution to its players in both bowling and batting. The great protagonist of the game was the wicket keeper of the team, Kumar Sangakkara, who made a terrible appearance in the batting and basically based on the scoring of the team. 

Pakistan was a strange group. They can not say they have a balance or have some good tactics. But they had the big Shahid Afridi, who took the bat when the team was in an unfavorable position and cleansed the Indians and the Bangladeshians, making 34 and 59 runs respectively, which led to the victory. On the other hand, disappointment was the leader of the Misbah team, who in no way was able to help his teammates.

If there is a favorite for the showdown, this is Sri Lanka, who has clearly shown a more organized and more stable team. But Pakistan is more than unpredictable and in an end everything can be done.

Sri Lanka is expected to rely heavily on Sangakkara. If this player does not do well in batting then they will have a big problem. In the last game with Bangladesh o Sangakkara was disappointing, having just come out with 2 runs. But it was an indifferent play, but it hurt the ego of the superstar. The 55 that gives him can be big and prohibitive, but 67, 107 and 73 runs have been made in previous games. Terrible numbers. A wicket keeper can do some stumping or a catch that will give him more points in the set. I think the appearance of Sangakkara can judge the game and it's worth a bet on his own.

The player gets 1 point for each run, 10 points for each catch and 25 points for each stumping. You will find this market in the player performances category of the Asian Cup.

A player who is a barometer for Pakistan is bowler Saeed Ajmal, who has opened bills from the first two games, after failing to win the victory for Pakistan when it came to batting. Dhaka's stadium is a playground that favors spinners, that is bowlers based on the balls and not the speed of the ball. In the two previous games in Dhaka Ajmal got 2 and 3 wickets respectively. Again it will be the heavy artillery in Pakistan's attack and I think it can get 2 wickets again.

The player gets 1 points for each run, 10 points for each catch and 20 points for each wicket. You will find this market in the Asian Cup player performances category.

The last game of the series and this time shows that God has been sorry for us and predictions say the rain will not spoil this game. So far the series is 1-1 and this game will judge the winner.

The match takes place on the Pallekele Stadium, a stadium where Sri Lanka has lost only once in its history, so considering the differences between the two teams, the victory of Sri Lanka is very reasonable.

The one who steals the show from New Zealand is Mitch Mclenaghan, a left-handed bowler who struggles to show that he has stability and can perform just as well in all competitions. So far in the series of games he has shown stability, since he has taken 2 wickets in each game. In a court that helps bowlers, I expect him to be able to continue his good performances, but since we are talking about left-handed bowler, I will keep my stake low.

The player gets 1 point for each run, 10 points for each catch and 20 points for each wicket. You will find this market in the player performance category of the match.
