Top Picks for SL vs SA Dream11 Match:

Top Picks – Batsmen

Charith Asalanka scored just six runs in the previous encounter. However, he was in red-hot form during the recently-concluded ODI series.

Aiden Markram extended his fine form and scored a match-winning 48 in the first T20I. He had done well in the ODI leg as well, accumulating 119 runs.

Top Picks – All-Rounders

Wanindu Hasaranga has been on a roll lately and Sri Lanka would be counting on him. The leg-spinner scalped a couple of wickets in the previous game.

Top Picks – Bowlers

Keshav Maharaj bowled a fine spell in the last game and he won’t mind replicating his heroics again. The left-arm spinner took one wicket and gave away mere 19 runs in four overs.

Tabraiz Shamsi is the top-ranked T20I bowler at the moment and South Africa will want him to deliver. He also picked up one wicket in the last match.

Top Picks – Wicketkeepers

While most of the Sri Lankan batters failed in the first T20I, Dinesh Chandimal showcased great application and scored a half-century. In total, he scored 66 off 54 deliveries.

Quinton de Kock can possess a massive threat to Sri Lankan bowlers. The wicketkeeper-batter scored 36 off 32 balls in the last game.
