Top Picks for SL vs ZIM Dream11 Prediction and Fantasy Cricket Tips:

SL

Charith Asalanka is proving his worth time and time again. His innings under pressure in the 1st ODI steered Sri Lanka home. He batted extremely well before getting dismissed for 71 runs.

Chamika Karunaratne picked up 3 crucial wickets in the 1st ODI against Zimbabwe despite going for 6.9 runs an over. He can throw kitchen sink at everything at the death overs.

Even though Maheesh Theekshana went wicketless in the 1st ODI, he bowled quite well, and conceded only 40 runs in his full quota of 10 overs. He is still a good pick for your fantasy teams.

ZIM

Craig Ervine didn’t go big in the 1st ODI as he was dismissed for just 9 runs. Zimbabwe skipper just needs to spend more time at the crease in order to get going.

Sean Williams bought up his 5th ODI century and also surpassed the 4000 run-mark in the 1st ODI of the series. He is a big match player and hopeful of repeating similar performances.

Regis Chakabva put up a solid foundation for Zimbabwe in the 1st ODI, his knock of 72 runs from 81 balls set the tone up for the visitors. He is expected to deliver the same in the 2nd ODI as well.

Richard Ngarava was the pick of the bowler for Zimbabwe in the 1st ODI. He gave breakthroughs at crucial situations and picked up 3 wickets. He is a must-pick for your fantasy teams.
