Top Picks for SL vs AUS Dream11 Prediction and Fantasy Cricket Tips:
SL
Pathum Nissanka is a glorious top order batsman and has a good track record. He was the top run-getter in the T20I series against Australia earlier this year with 184 runs to his name. He has been decent in the series with 39 to his name but hasn’t lived up to his hype. He’d be eager to score big.
Danushka Gunathilaka will be a must-have pick to have in this match. He smashed 26 runs at a strike rate of 173.33 in the first T20I match.
Bhanuka Rajapaksa is an attacking player and he can play impactful knocks. The left-hander scored 206 runs at a strike rate of 159.68 in the IPL this year.
Wanindu Hasaranga is a key all-rounder for Sri Lanka. He was wicket less in the opening game but struck 4 times in the last game, and setup the game for the hosts in the process. He’d be high on confidence.
Charith Asalanka is one of the better T20 batters in the Sri Lankan side. The left-hander has top-scored for his side 77 runs in his kitty. He would be hoping to play a big one tonight.
Dasun Shanaka is a right-handed explosive batsman and right-arm medium pacer from Sri Lanka. He has been in good form with the bat. He has accumulated 240 runs at an average of 48 while striking at 142.85 in T20Is this year.
Dushmantha Chameera has been a consistent performer for Sri Lanka in white-ball cricket. He has taken 32 wickets in 30 T20Is since the start of 2021.
Maheesh Theekshana has been impressive in his short career so far. The Sri Lankan mystery spinner took 12 wickets in nine games at an economy rate of 7.45 in the IPL 2022.
AUS
David Warner is one of the top T20 batsmen in world cricket. The southpaw was the man of the series at the T20 World Cup and was in good form in the IPL as well, finishing the season with 432 runs. He started the series in similar fashion, scoring 70 * off just 44 balls. He has 91 runs in the series.
Aaron Finch is an aggressive top-order batsman. He is known for his hard-hitting and ability to finish matches. He scored 24 runs at an impressive strike rate of 184.62 in the last match. So far, he has scored 85 runs in 2 matches in this series.
Mitchell Marsh was superb with the bat in 2021 where he amassed 627 runs at an average of 36.88 and a strike rate of 129.81. He fared well for Delhi Capitals in the last few games of the IPL. He can also be handy with the ball.
Glenn Maxwell will be another undisputed captaincy choice for this match. He is one of the best all-round players we have, who can mold his game according to situations. He can get you points from both batting as well as bowling. Maxwell struck 2 wickets at an economy of 6 and scored 19 runs in the last match.
Ashton Agar was excellent in the T20I series against Sri Lanka earlier this year. The left-arm spinner featured in three games and picked up three wickets at an economy rate of 3.91.
Josh Hazlewood is a talented seam bowler who can move the new ball consistently, he can also generate extra bounce off the length. Hazlewood struck 4 wickets at a controlled economy of 4 in the first match.
Kane Richardson is a T20 specialist and has been a star in domestic competitions, while he has also done a fine job at the international stage. The right-armer has variety up his sleeves and is good at deceiving the batters. He is the leading wicket-taker in the series with 5 wickets to his name.
Jhye Richardson was brought into the side for the last game with Starc nursing an injury. The seamer repaid the faith bestowed in him, bagging 3 wickets. He’d be fired up for this one.
