Bhanuka Rajapaksa SL | BAT

8

Pathum Nissanka SL | BAT

The young Sri Lankan opener was in excellent form in the 2022 Asia Cup 173 runs in six matches with the help of two fifties at a strike rate of 115.33. Nissanka was also excellent on the Australian pitches earlier this year and should be in your Dream11 squad at any cost.

9

Wanindu Hasaranga SL | ALL

The star Sri Lanka spinner struggled for wickets in the early start of the 2022 Asia Cup but took six wickets in the last two matches, including three for 27 runs in the final against Pakistan to guide Sri Lanka to a title win.

Dasun Shanaka SL | ALL

The Sri Lankan captain has established himself as one of the best finishers in the T20 games. He smashed 111 runs at a strike rate of 138.15 in the 2022 Asia Cup and is available for only 7.5 credits for this fixture.

8.5

Innocent Kaia

ZIM | BAT

The middle-order batter is struggling for runs in white-ball cricket lately. He scored only 19 runs in two ODIs against Australia and 26 runs in three ODIs against India.

8.5

Dushmantha Chameera

SL | BOWL

The star left-arm pacer last played cricket in June and missed the Asia Cup tournament with an injury. He is fit to play both the warm-up fixtures but should be avoided for the Dream11 team due to his lack of match fitness.
