Players who are expected to perform well as per SL vs ENG Dream11 Teams

Top Batsman

ENG- Joe Root

He averages 44.2 against Sri Lanka and has scored a 200 and 3 hundreds against them. With the rest of the three in fab four in fine form, expect Root to step up to that level.

SL- Dimuth Karunaratne

With a weak-batting line-up on their side, the captain will have to take the major responsibility of playing the long innings.

Other prominent Batsmen: Jonny Bairstow, Kusal Mendis

Top Bowlers

ENG- James Anderson

The veteran needs no introduction. He has played just 1 match in Galle and picked up 6 wickets including a 5-fer in one innings.

SL- Wanindu Hasaranga

He is the main SL bowler to look forward to in this Test. He was impressive in the last series.

Other prominent Bowlers: Sam Curran, Dasun Shanaka
