ICC World Cup 2019: Match 35, Sri Lanka vs South Africa – Dream11 Fantasy Team based on Stats

There is extreme competition for the fourth spot on the points table in the World Cup 2019. As many teams as England, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Windies are fighting hard for a semi-final spot. The Lankans need to win the rest of their games to fancy a spot in the top half of the points table and their quest will begin with the game against South Africa.

The Proteas are already knocked out of the tournament and will look to take the Islanders out along with them. There is pride to salvage for the South African team and they will look for a few more wins under their belt. This encounter is expected to be a good contest as both the teams will try to push hard for a win.

Here we bring to you the Dream11 Fantasy team based on the stats of the players:

Wicketkeepers

Picking the wicket-keeper for this Dream11 Fantasy team isn’t as difficult a choice to make. Kusal Perera scored 169 runs in his last five ODI outings and even takes 1 credit less than Quinton de Kock. The left-hander scored two fifties as well in these outings which is greater than the other two options available. Thus, he should be a good pick.

Batsmen

Sri Lanka’s Dimuth Karunaratne scored more runs than anyone else in the last five ODI matches. He must be there in your team and can be the vice-captain. As the captain, you can possibly go with Rassie van der Dussen who is usually a more reliable batsman. The other two picks you may make from this category are Faf du Plessis and Avishka Fernando.

All Rounders

Both Chris Morris and Andile Phehlukwayo have done a great job for South Africa in recent times. Both of them have picked 9 and 7 wickets respectively and are handy with the bat as well. Moreover, they are good fielders and thus add a great value to your Dream11 Fantasy team.

Bowlers

You’ve got quite straightforward choices to make from this category. Lasith Malinga and Nuwan Pradeep have accounted for nine wickets each. Both of them were great in the last match against England and should be there in your team. Imran Tahir and Lungi Ngidi have also fared decently well and they will finish the eleven.
