Ibrahim Zadran was the highest run scorer in the last match with his brilliant knock of 75 off 74 deliveries. He looks in good form and will be a key batsman in this match.
The Afghan pacer could not pick wickets in the first match and was expensive but he can be a game changer. We are backing him as a key pacer for this match.
Matheesha Pathirana is undoubtedly a key fast bowler for Sri Lanka in this match after his match-winning spell in the first match. Pathirana was the Player of the Match for his bowling figures of 4/32.
As Sri Lanka started losing wickets early on, Asalanka came in at number 5 and took matters in his hands. He scored 62 runs and remained not out with his match-winning knock. He is a must-pick player for this dream11 fantasy team.
The Sri Lankan skipper and all-rounder looked in good touch in the first match. He finished off the chase along with Asalanka and picked a wicket as well. We are backing him as the dream11 captain for this match.
