Virat Kohli and Dimuth Karunaratne
India, who have already booked their place in the semi-finals of the 2019 International Cricket Council (ICC) World Cup, will look to make a top-place finish in the group stage when they lock horns with Sri Lanka in a dead-rubber match of the tournament at Headingley Carnegie in Leeds on Saturday. Virat Kohli's side is currently standing at the second spot in the points table after having won six out of the eight games they have played so far in the ongoing marquee event. The Dimuth Karunaratne-led side, on the other hand, is already out of the contention of making it to the knockout stage after winning just three out of the eight matches so far.
