Eoin Morgan - 8th highest run scorer (773), Avg (33.60) - 31M/27I
Jason Roy - 23rd highest run scorer (430), Avg (53.75) - 10M/10I
Chris Woakes - 7th highest wicket taker (24), Avg (32.62), SR (34.3) - 18M/17I
Adil Rashid - 14th highest wicket taker (14), Avg (29.42), SR (36.8) - 11M/10I
David Willey - 30th highest wicket taker (10), Avg (26.80), SR (28) - 5M/5I

Kusal Perera - 34th highest run scorer (252), Avg (16.80) - 16M/15I
Dasun Shanaka - 49th highest run scorer (176), Avg (25.14) - 9M/8I

Nuwan Pradeep - 37th highest wicket taker (8), Avg (45.75), SR (43.5) - 9M/8I
(v) Must Picks (H2H Analysis)
Jason Roy
Joe Root (While batting 1st, blind C/VC pick. Hit or Miss while batting second, can drop in GL)
Eoin Morgan (has scored above 20 in every inning he's played against SL)
Adil Rashid
Tom Curran (no records while bowling 2nd against SL)
David Willey
Avishka Fernando (has only played 1 inning and scored 49, so can be a hit or miss, as not enough data)
Dhananjaya Da Silva
Akila Dhananjaya (while bowling 2nd)
Worthy picks irrespective of lack of data (if they play) -
Dushmantha Chameera, Isuru Udana, Wanindu Hasaranga, Sam Curran, Liam Livingstone
Differential Risky GL Picks (if they play) -
P Jayavickrama, G Garton
In the absence of Kusal Mendis, Danushka Gunathilaka and Niroshan Dickwella who have been suspended from the ODI series, and Avishka Fernando who is injured, their top order would be completely different and all of them are worthy GL tries (Charith Asalanka, Pathum Nissanka, Oshada Fernando or if anyone else is featured).
For England, Jason Roy is injured and wouldn't feature in this game, so either Dawid Malan will open or Liam Livingstone, and the other would play at No.4, unless the situation changes the batting order a bit.
