Other Bowlers
Kulasekara - 5 Wickets
Thisara Perrera - 6 Wickets
Rangana Herath - 3 Wickets
Sri Lanka might play Thisara Perrera instead of Chamara Silva as Thisara's Performance against India is excellent in past. Kulasekara also might come in for Rangana, if the pitch looks good for seamers but it's better to go with 3 full time spinners.

..............................
Other Bowlers
R Aswin - 4 Wickets
A Nehra - 3 Wickets
P Chawla - 4 Wickets
They are likely to play with same team that played with Pakistan but sometime Aswin
may come in for Nehra and sometimes Y Pathan for Raina.
So What is the difference between two ?
Not Much at all but in batting India is bit ahead of Sri Lanka considering that they have 4 inform batsmen where as Sri Lanka has only 3 but in Bowling Sri Lanka is far ahead with wicket taking bowlers (even the part time 2 bowlers are wicket takers!) but Sri Lanka will have a problem If Anjelo doesnt play... because neither Thisarra nor Vaas / Randiv could do what he does with both bat and bowl for the team in very crucial moments... but the team that make few mistakes compared to the other will lift the World Cup 2011.
