India vs Sri Lanka 2nd T20 Dream11 Team Prediction

IND vs SL Match Preview 2023

After a thriller 1st T20I, India and Sri Lanka will face each other in the 2nd T20I on 5th January at MCA Stadium in Pune. 

The 1st match at Wankhede Stadium ended with a nail-biting last over where Axar Patel had to defend 13 runs off the last over and India won by 2 runs. They defended a total of 162 runs at a venue which is famous for its chasing pitch.

The new-look Indian T20I team under the leadership of all-rounder Hardik Pandya have proved themselves under a high pressure situation and from here on, the Indian team will look forward to making a new team for the T20 World Cup in 2024.

Sri Lanka, on the other hand, have proved yet again that they have become a strong T20I side since their Asia Cup 2022 title win. This fierce Sri Lankan team under the leadership of Dasun Shanaka almost took the game away from India but Axar Patel kept his nerves calm and ruined Lanka’s plans.

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

IND vs SL Dream11 Top Picks

Ishan Kishan

Ishan Kishan looked in good form in the 1st match and we are expecting him to score bigger than that. He is our Indian pick from wicket keepers. In the first match he smashed 37 runs off 29 deliveries.

Suryakumar Yadav

Suryakumar couldn’t deliver in the first match but that doesn’t take away the fact he is currently the No.1 T20I batsman for a reason. One good innings and he will be back on his track. We are backing him as the captain of this dream11 team.

Wanindu Hasaranga

Hasaranga is currently top all-rounder in the Sri Lankan squad. In the first match, he scored 21 runs off 10 deliveries and bowled 4 overs with an economy of 5.50 and picked wicket of Ishan Kishan who looked dangerous.

Umran Malik

The Indian team is trying to polish this pacer for the next T20 World Cup. We saw Umran clocking 155 km/h in this match and he finished with the figures 2/27 in his 4 overs.

Maheesh Theekshana

Theekshana looked good with the ball in the first match and he can be a troublesome bowler for the Indian batters. In the first match he picked 1 wicket and gave away 29 runs in 4 overs.
