Player Picks

8.5
C

Daryl Mitchell NZ | ALL

The in-form batting all-rounder scored 47 off 58 with the bat and then took two wickets 12 in the first ODI. Daryl has been in red-hot form across formats in recent games and will be a good captaincy choice.

8.5
C

Angelo Mathews SL | ALL

The veteran Sri Lankan batting all-rounder returned to the ODIs after two years and top-scored with 18 runs. Mathews has scored 5853 runs from 189 ODI innings at an average of 41.51 so far.

8.5
C

Kusal Mendis SL | WK

The Sri Lankan wicketkeeper-batter was dismissed on a duck after facing 16 deliveries in the first ODI. He has scored three fifties in the recent Tests against Kiwis and will be a safe captaincy choice on Tuesday.

6.5

Chad Bowes NZ | BAT

The young Kiwi opener made his long-awaited debut in the last game and scored 14 runs off 15 balls. Bowes is in excellent form lately with two centuries from his last five overall matches.

8.5

Dasun Shanaka SL | ALL

The Sri Lankan captain was excellent with the ball as he dismissed Tom Latham while conceding runs at an economy rate of 3.2 in the first game. Shanaka has scored 83 runs and has taken five wickets from his last three overall 50-over innings.

8.5

Matt Henry NZ | BOWL

The Kiwi speedster failed to get any wickets in the opening match but conceded just 12 runs off his six-over spell. Henry took 11 wickets across two recent Tests against Sri Lanka and should be in the Dream11 Team at any cost.

6.5

Henry Shipley NZ | ALL

The 26-year-old pacer bowled a match-winning spell in the first ODI by taking five wickets. He has now taken eight wickets from four ODIs and costs only 6.5 credits on the Dream11 Team.

7.5

Rachin Ravindra NZ | ALL

The young spin all-rounder made his international debut in the last ODI and made an instant impact with a bat. He scored 49 runs off 52 balls and is available for just 6.5 credits.

7.5

Chamika Karunaratne SL | ALL

The experienced pace all-rounder took four wickets, including valuable wickets of Finn Allen and Will Young in the first match. Chamika now has taken 24 wickets from 20 ODI innings and can contribute more points with a bat as well.

Nuwanidu Fernando

SL | BAT

The young Sri Lankan opener continues to struggle for the big knock as he scored just four runs in the first game. He has scored just 86 runs from his last five overall matches and should be avoided for the Dream11 Team on Tuesday.

8

Charith Asalanka

SL | BAT

The 25-year-old middle-order batter scored just nine runs in the first match as he struggles for consistency across formats. Charith has scored just 61 runs from his last five overall games with just one double-digit score.
