Sri Lanka: They are having a great run in ODIs and won every tournament in 2010 except the Asia Cup. Runners-up in 2007 and winners in 1996, they are one of the favourites and will surely be formidable on home soil.
Key men: All-rounder Angelo Matthews will surely be one of the strengths of the team. Skipper Kumar Sangakkara and Tillakaratne Dilshan can also be destructive.
World Cup record: Played 57, Won 25, Lost 30, Tied 1, No result 1
Winners: 1996
Squad: Kumar Sangakkara (captain), Mahela Jayawardene, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Upul Tharanga, Thilan Samaraweera, Chamara Silva, Chamara Kapugedera, Angelo Mathews, Thisara Perera, Nuwan Kulasekara, Lasith Malinga, Dilhara Fernando, Muttiah Muralitharan, Ajantha Mendis, Rangana Herath.
