AUS vs SL Dream11 Team: The defending champions Australia have had a horrific start to their title defense as they succumbed to their first defeat to the Blackcaps in their own backyard in T20Is that too by 89 runs. They will now have to regroup and gear up for a stiff challenge against the Lankan Lions who are booming with confidence. Sri Lanka have now won three games on the trot in this World Cup and their last win came against Ireland by a dominating margin of 9 wickets. Who will be the top 5 fantasy picks in this match? Let’s check out.
Australia vs Sri Lanka Dream11 Team Fantasy Picks
1. David Warner
David Warner was bowled by Tim Southee in the opening game in perhaps the most unconvincing fashion. Warner’s wicket is always important in a T20 game and will help you gain decent fantasy points in fantasy teams.
Matches | Runs | Strike Rate | Best | Average |
96 | 2855 | 141.82 | 100* | 33.58 |
2. Kusal Mendis
Sri Lanka’s opener is in a decent touch having scored two fifties on the trot. With Patthum Nissanka still a doubtful starter in this game. Mendis’ role increases with leaps and bounds. Below are his T20I numbers.
Matches | Runs | Wickets | Batting Average | Strike Rate |
45 | 1007 | 79 | 23.41 | 131.29 |
3. Mitchell Marsh
A lot would depend on hos Mitchell Marsh plays at no 3 for Australia. His bowling workload has been decreased, but Marsh as the batter is what the Aussies are heavily dependent on. He could be a good choice for C or VC in fantasy teams.
Matches | Runs | Strike-rate | Average | Best |
43 | 996 | 142 | 29.29 | 77* |
4. Josh Hazlewood
Josh Hazlewood is the highest ranked T20I bowler in the world. He took a wicket in the opening game that too of Finn Allen who was batting like a dream. With the new ball in hand, Hazlewood will be pivotal for Australia’s cause.
Matches | Wickets | Economy Rate | Best | Average |
38 | 55 | 7.69 | 4/12 | 19.96 |
5. Wanindu Hasaranga
Just like the last T20 World Cup, Wanindu Hasaranga has started in the same way and is the leading wicket-taker so far in this edition. Irrespective of the surface or the conditions, Wanindu will be big threat for the opposition and one of the premier choices for C or VC in fantasy teams.
