Top Picks for SL vs SA Dream11 Match:

Top Picks – Batsmen

Kusal Perera scored just 30 in the previous encounter and would like to make a more significant contribution in the last game.

Aiden Markram extended his fine form and scored 69 runs in the first two games. He won’t mind playing another match-winning knock.

Top Picks – All-Rounders

Wanindu Hasaranga has been on a roll lately and Sri Lanka would be counting on him. The leg-spinner has scalped three wickets in this series.

Dwaine Pretorius will be a decent budget pick from the all-rounders. He had a decent first game, where he picked up a wicket and scored 10 runs.

Top Picks – Bowlers

Keshav Maharaj has bowled economically in the series and the Sri Lankan batters have struggled to read him. The left-arm spinner has taken two wickets in this series.

Tabraiz Shamsi is the top-ranked T20I bowler at the moment and South Africa will want him to deliver in this match as well. He has picked up four wickets in this series.

Top Picks – Wicketkeepers

Quinton de Kock can possess a massive threat to Sri Lankan bowlers. The wicketkeeper-batter has slammed 94 runs in this series so far.
