ENG vs SL Dream11 Top Fantasy Picks All Rounders, Batsman, Bowlers, Wicket Keepers

ENG vs SL Dream11 Top Picks

Dawid Malan

England need a good start and in Dawid Malan they have an inform batter. Malan has scored a century in the tournament and England will need him to be at his best in the important clash against Sri Lanka.

Joe Root

Joe Root has also played a couple of good innings for the team but the consistency which is expected of Root is missing big time. The former captain needs to ensure he bats well against Sri Lanka. Root is also England’s best player against the spinners and will be handy against the likes of Theekshana and De Silva.

Jos Buttler

Jos Buttler will be disappointed how the World Cup has gone for him and will be very keen to shrug off the lean patch and contribute to the team’s win. Buttler will be happy playing on the flat surface of Bengaluru.

Kusal Mendis

Mendis has enjoyed a good season with the bat. He has scored 218 runs in 4 matches, including a century. Mendis is a batter who can take the game away from England on his own.

Sadeera Samarawickrama

Samarawickrama has also been very impressive as a batter. He has scored 230 runs in 4 games and is Sri Lanka’s highest run getter in the tournament.
