TOP Picks For ENG vs SL Dream 11 Match
Captain Options:
- Joe Root: England’s superstar batter was simply out of the world in the 2nd test match. The 33-year-old scored hundred in each innings and took his hundred’s tally to 34 – the most by an Englishman in test matches.
- Chris Woakes: The 35-year-old all-rounder picked up four wickets in the last test match. He is a handy lower-order batsman as well.
- Gus Atkinson: The 26-year-old might have played only three test matches so far, but he has shown that he is here to stay. He scored a wonderful hundred in the last test match and took a five-wicket haul in the 2nd innings as well. Truly masterful.
- Asitha Fernando: Sri Lankan bowler put on quite a show in the 2nd test match after taking a five-wicket haul in the first innings. He also took three wickets in the 2nd innings and ended a 8/154 test match figure.
Vice-Captain Options:
- Ben Duckett: England’s wicket-keeper is definitely a player who can put on a show with the bat. He can be a wild card in Dream11 fantasy grand league teams.
- Shoaib Bashir: As the pitch at the Kia Oval Ground in London is likely to be dry, Shoaib Bashir can play a big role for the home team in this match.
- Dhananjaya de Silva: Sri Lanka captain is in decent form at the moment. He scored two half centuries in the two test matches. He can also contribute as a bowler.
