Weather Update
The action shifts from Colombo to Hambantota, but the weather conditions remain pretty similar. There could be some showers early in the morning, but the sky is expected to clear during game time. The temperatures in the city will be around 24-28 degrees throughout the day.
Pitch Report
Not a lot of T20 games have been played at this venue, but the average score here remains less than 150. The track plays out pretty slow and nice, making it suitable for the spinners. But since this will be the first game here in a long time, you can expect some runs in the afternoon fixture.
CS vs DG Dream11 Prediction
The Stars have proven themselves to be a contingent on the rise, and are looking like the favorites to get this win. The suggestion for fantasy managers will be to have a majority of their players in the fantasy team for better rewards.
CS vs DG Dream11 Captaincy Picks
Seekkuge Prasanna: The all-rounder has amassed over 500 fantasy points and has been one of the most stellar performers in the tournament. He picked up 12 wickets and has scored plenty of vital runs at a double-quick pace, making him an ideal pick for captaincy in small leagues.
Dinesh Chandimal: The senior pro has chipped in with big knocks when it mattered the most, and you can bank on him as captain in mega leagues. He is the highest run-scorer in the tournament right now, with 275 runs to his credit.
Philip Salt: Right behind Chandimal in the run-scoring chart is Philip Salt, who has had a terrific campaign with 247 runs to his credit. He can provide consistent returns and is a top choice for vice-captaincy.
CS vs DG Dream11 Budget Picks
Jeffrey Vandersay: The leg-spinner came into action very late in the tournament, but chipped in with a 6-fer in his last outing. He has 10 wickets in 3 games thus far, and costs just 8.5 credits.
Naveen-ul-Haq: The Afghan pacer has been consistent with his channels, and has picked up 9 wickets at an economy of just 7. He is a worthy addition at 8.5 credits.
Tharindu Ratnayake: Spinners have been quite handy this tournament, and Tharindu Ratnayake has been a pivotal presence for the Giants. He picked up 6 wickets at an economy of just over 6, and costs 8.5 credits to be part of your team.
