SL vs PAK Dream11 Match Prediction | ICC Cricket World Cup 2019

SL vs PAK Dream11 Prediction | Sri Lanka vs Pakistan Match Preview | Fantasy Team & Team News

Sri Lanka and Pakistan both started their World Cup Campaign losing to New Zealand and Windies respectively. Both teams were lackluster against their opponents, going all-out before even playing 30 of the 50 overs.

Despite their disappointing loss, Pakistan bounced back and surprised everyone after they won their match against the hosts, England, defeating them by 14 runs, courtesy of Pakistan’s top order, which looked quite sturdy compared to their last game.

Sri Lanka, despite having won versus Afghanistan in their second match, was very shaky while batting. They looked very composed, going 92-0 after which they started to crumble, losing all wickets in the next 109 runs, putting up a score of 201. They were still able to win the game, but looking at their brittle batting lineup, they might not be able to hold up against stronger teams in their upcoming matches.

Fantasy Picks from Pakistan

Babar Azam | Mohammad Hafeez | Wahab Riaz

Babar Azam looks to dominate for his team, scoring 63 off 66 balls and has had a good record versus Sri Lanka, with an average of 58.33.
A man to keep an eye on is Mohammad Hafeez. He was the highest scorer for his team versus England, going 84 off 62 (135.48 S/R). Scoring such a score versus England will definitely boost his confidence for upcoming games.
The player that solidified their victory versus England was Wahab Riaz, he got the early wicket for his team and also took 2 more wickets at the end of the match which immensely skewed the game to their favor.

Fantasy Picks from Sri Lanka

Dimuth Karunaratne | Lasith Malinga | Kusal Perera | Nuwan Pradeep

Sri Lankan skipper Dimuth Karunaratne has been leading by example, having scored 82 runs in the last two games. While the team shattered around him, he maintained his wicket till the end versus New Zealand, ending the innings 52*.
Lasith Malinga looks to be in great form against Afghanistan, picking up 3 wickets. He maintained an economy of 5.85 and got the finishing wicket of the game.
Pacer Nuwan Pradeep is also performing well alongside Malinga. He did even better than the veteran, grabbing 4 wickets and only letting go of 31 runs in 9 overs.
Kusal Perera looked to undo the mistakes of the previous match, scoring 78 off 81 balls versus Afghanistan. He looked confident this time around which should help Sri Lankans in the coming fixtures.
