STRENGTHS
The all rounders of this squad are its biggest strength because they have so many all rounders who can perform a variety of roles in the team very well. They have batters who are attacking in nature and they never back down. Their spinners are a strong point as well.
WEAKNESSES
Their fast bowling is a big weakness as their lead fast bowlers are injured and they have no guarantee that they will play and even if they do they will not be at their best.

OPPORTUNITIES
This team has the opportunity to do something special and now that they have won the Asia Cup, all the teams will take them more seriously. Dasun Shanaka has the opportunity to become a Sri Lankan legend.
THREATS
This team should not get overconfident in the Qualifying Matches because that will be the biggest Threat to them and their spinners can be taken apart If they do not get much turn. And if their lead fast bowlers do not get fit in time then the other teams can Hammer them.
