Preview for Dream11 Fantasy

South Africa U19s had a great quadrangular series in which they reached the finals but they ended up losing a close game against the Indian colts. Their players were in great form as they will look to replicate the same in the first warm-up game against Sri Lanka U-19s. Bryce Parsons turned out to be the leading scorer in the previous series with 192 runs in four games. The same would be expected from him in the upcoming match. Also, their bowling unit also looks up to the mark as they produced some brilliant show in the recently concluded four-nation series.

Sri Lanka U19s emerged as the winners in the tri-nation series by defeating overwhelming favourites England in the finals. As far as the results of their previous games are concerned they have put some brilliant efforts in the recent past. In batting, they have Navod Paranavithana, Kamil Mishara and Ravindu Rasantha did a convincing job for their side with the bat as they were moving in red-hot form in the recently concluded tournament.
