What should be India's batting plan? Looking at the opposition, they need to target Thushara, Kulasekara and Matthews for the big hits. That could, however, backfire as it has at times, so they can invert the plan and attack Malinga and Mendis. Malinga tends to bowl some wild wides that miss everything, while some others can also go flying. In the last two tours, Raina and Dhoni often got on top of Mendis and cart him around, or at least sneak singles. That's the key- sneak and steal as many singles as possible, as they're easier to claim and add up decisively. They should milk Matthews, Sanath and Dilshan regularly, and smash one of the seamers, or both, or maybe even Mendis.
