SL vs NAM Match Preview

After winning the Asia cup, Sri Lanka will be eyeing a good show in the T20 World Cup. However, they will have to go through a qualifying round to make it to the Super 12s. SL would fancy themselves against the likes of Namibia, Netherlands and UAE.

They will face Namibia in their first game. While Sri Lanka will start as favourites, Namibia have some good players up their sleeves who can shock Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka and Namibia played one warm-up game before this match and both teams picked up wins. Sri Lanka defeated Zimbabwe while Namibia defeated Ireland.

The surface should be batting-friendly. The wickets in Australia are hard thus it’s easy to score runs here. However, the bowlers also have a slight advantage with extra bounce.

Weather Report

It will be a cold and cloudy day with more than a 50 per cent chance of rain. The temperatures can dip to 4 degrees which will make it very challenging for the players.

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

Kusal Mendis

The senior batter performed well in the warm-up game against Zimbabwe and scored 54 runs in 29 balls. Mendis also had a decent run in the Asia Cup and scored over 150 runs. He will be a key player for Sri Lanka in the T20 World Cup.

Bhanuka Rajapaksa

Bhanuka Rajapaksa has established himself as a dependable batter for Sri Lanka in the middle order. The left-hander top scored for Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup with 191 runs in 6 games at an average of 47. The batter will be eyeing another good show in the T20 World Cup.

David Weise

The experienced all-rounder will be key for Namibia. He has plenty of experience playing against top-quality players, both in international as well as franchise cricket. He is one of the finest batters for the team and has a good record with the ball as well. Weise was Namibia’s best performer in last year’s T20 World Cup.

Wanindu Hasaranga

Wanindu Hasaranga will be Sri Lanka’s main weapon with the ball in the upcoming T20 World Cup. The mystery spinner can cause plenty of trouble with his variations. Also, he is a very handy batter down the order and there can be no fantasy team without having Hasaranga in it.

Dushmantha Chameera

Chameera has been top-notch for Sri Lanka in recent times. He had a stellar IPL and then delivered some fine performance for Sri Lanka. The pacer is well capable to exploit the Australian conditions and give Sri Lanka a good start with the ball.
