#10 Angelo Mathews

The Sri Lankan ODI skipper is fast becoming the most reliable middle-order batsman for his country. He has a calm demeanour and has got the ability to rally the tail around him. One of his best performances while chasing came in 2012 against Pakistan in Colombo, where he helped the Lankans chase down a target of 247 almost single-handedly, scoring 80 not out off 76 balls.
