Top Picks for SA vs SL Dream11 Prediction and Fantasy Cricket Tips:
SA
Aiden Markram looks a completely different player when he is in full flow. He deserves huge credit for his match-winning knock against the quality West Indies unit. In just 26 balls, he smashed 51* runs which comprised of 2 fours and 4 sixes.
Dwaine Pretorius came out of nowhere and picked up 3 wickets against West Indies on Tuesday. He is the only all-rounder in the South African line-up and will be a good budget pick for your fantasy teams.
Anrich Nortje has been a huge headache for the batters with his fierce bowling. He hasn’t given away easy runs in the last 2 matches and has picked up 3 wickets at an impressive economy of 4.37.
The good news for South Africa is that Quinton de Kock is available for selection for the remaining World Cup matches. He can be dangerous when he is on song. The wicketkeeper-batter is a natural stroke maker, and his innings will be key for South Africa in the initial overs.
SL
Charith Asalanka is the player to watch out for Sri Lanka in the future. He has got real talent and has done incredibly well in the last 2 matches by scoring 35 and 80* against Australia and Bangladesh respectively.
Wanindu Hasaranga is known for his deceptive bowling and he had a good game against Australia, where he picked up the important wicket of well-set Aaron Finch, and later removed dangerous Glenn Maxwell. Overall in this World Cup, he has scored 81 runs and has also picked up 8 wickets.
Maheesh Theekshana went wicket-less in the last game against Australia, despite bowling well. In 4 matches in this tournament, he has picked up 8 wickets at an economy of 5.53.
