Pitch Report
There will be decent support for the spinners in Colombo as usual, and it may be a very crucial toss to win for either sides, as the teams chasing could have the advantage. The average score for teams batting first here is 152 in T20Is, which provides a small picture of what we can expect from this game.
DG vs KW Dream11 Prediction
Both sides have some terrific individual talents, and since there is no measure of how these sides will fare as a team, the suggestion to fantasy managers would be to trust individuals over the team, and perhaps not consider the team’s last season performances before picking your team.
DG vs KW Dream11 Captaincy Picks
Charith Asalanka: One of Sri Lanka’s most promising youngsters, Charith Asalanka scored 231 runs in the recently concluded T20 Men’s World Cup and he did it at an average of 45.40. He is the best option for captaincy in small leagues.
Angelo Perera: If the fantasy managers are keen on taking a risk for mega leagues, Angelo Perera is perhaps a worthwhile gamble. He scored 227 runs at an average of 45 and a strike rate in excess of 140. He also scored 187 runs in the recently concluded T10 league, and is a notable presence in the side.
Rovman Powell: Another player coming from the T10 League who had a terrific outing, Powell scored 305 runs in 10 games and is one of the players to watch out for. He is a decent option for vice-captaincy.
DG vs KW Dream11 Budget Picks
Ramesh Mendis: Having just picked up 11 wickets in the Test match against West Indies, Ramesh Mendis at 8.5 credits is an absolute bargain for fantasy managers. He can contribute with the bat as well, and is a handy striker of the ball.
Nuwan Pradeep: The 35-year-old pacer delivered some good performances in the T10 league, and featured in the T20 World Cup squad playing in the game against Oman. He is a handy pick at 8.5 credits.
Chamika Karunaratne: One of the upcoming names in Sri Lankan cricket, Chamika Karunratne can contribute with the bat and ball, and can be a differential pick for your team. He costs 8.5 credits.
