Player Picks
Kane Williamson NZ | BAT
The top-ranked Kiwi batter played a match-winning knock of 121* off 194 in the second innings of the first Test to guide New Zealand to a thrilling win. Williamson has scored two hundreds in his last two Tests and will be a safe captaincy choice on the Dream11 Team.
Daryl Mitchell NZ | ALL
The batting all-rounder continued his red-hot form by smashing a century in the first innings and an 81 off 86 in the first Test against Sri Lanka.
Dimuth Karunaratne SL | BAT
The Sri Lankan skipper scored a crucial 50 off 87 in the first innings and 17 off 45 in the second innings of the first Test. Karunaratne also scored a half-century in the previous Test against Pakistan and will be a key batter for his team in the upcoming Test.
Angelo Mathews SL | ALL
The veteran Sri Lankan batting all-rounder scored 47 off 98 in the first innings and then top-scored with 115 off 235 in the second innings of the first Test.
Tim Southee NZ | BOWL
The Kiwi captain took five big wickets in the first innings to bowl out Sri Lanka on just 355 runs and then took two more wickets in the second innings. Southee also contributed with a bat by scoring 25 off 20 in the first innings.
Kusal Mendis SL | WK
The Sri Lankan wicketkeeper-batter smashed 87 off 83 in the first innings to help his team score a big total. Mendis also scored 95 in the practice match and has scored three fifties in his last five overall matches.
Tom Blundell NZ | WK
The experienced wicketkeeper-batter scored just 10 runs across two innings in the first Test. But he has been in excellent form lately with 267 runs against England in two Tests last month.
Matt Henry NZ | BOWL
The Kiwi speedster ended his poor form by taking seven wickets in the first Test. He also shone with a bat by smashing a crucial 72 off 75 in the first innings.
Asitha Fernando SL | BOWL
The 25-year-old pacer proved the best bowler for Sri Lanka by taking seven wickets across two innings of the first Test. Asitha has taken 11 wickets from his last four overall matches and costs only 7.5 credits on the Dream11 Team.
