Top Picks for ENG vs SRI 11Wickets Match: 

Sam Curran bettered his abilities with the ball picking up his maiden 5 wicket-haul in ODIs. The left-arm seamer finished with the figures of 5-48 in his spell of 10 overs in the second ODI to fashion victory for England. He will be keen to further stretch his limits and would be a good pick.

Dhananjaya de Silva held the fort for Sri Lanka, when the batting line-up seemed to collapse. He built up a partnership alongside Wanindu Hasaranga to shape Sri Lanka’s innings. Dhananjaya de Silva scored a poised 91 by further putting up small partnerships with the middle and lower-middle order and thus is an important asset for the line-up.

David Willey has been quite impressive in both the ODIs so far. In the first game, he scalped 3 wickets, and in the second ODI, he yet again proved his prowess. The pacer picked 4 wickets in the last encounter, running through the middle order of Sri Lanka.
