ICC World Cup 2019: ENG vs SL Dream11 Captain; Back Karunaratne, Root, Morgan to go big

The hosts England are having a perfect World Cup so far except for the loss against Pakistan. And England’s thumping victory against Afghanistan has further highlighted their stakes for the trophy.

On the other hand, Sri Lanka are having a tough time and are almost knocked out of the tournament. But Sri Lanka will know that a good show against England will atleast earn them praises.

England have plenty of match-winners while Sri Lankan players are yet to deliver their best. Here are the top 3 picks for Dream11 captain.

#3. Dimuth Karunaratne:

The Sri Lankan team may be struggling in the tournament, but Karunaratne, the batsman is thriving so far. Despite the results, the Sri Lankan opener has scored a couple of good knocks and he will be the key threat for England on Friday.
