Preview:
England will take on Sri Lanka in the third and final T20I of the series on Saturday. England are already leading 2-0 and will look to wrap up the series 3-0 without giving any opportunity for the visitors. They might look to experiment in the final match and test their bench strength.
On the other hand, Sri Lanka has already lost the series and they will be playing to avoid the humiliating whitewash. Batting has been their major concern and they will definitely make some changes in their eleven.

Top Picks for ENG vs SL Dream11 Match:
Top Picks – Batsmen
Danushka Gunathilaka has been dismissed in an unusual manner in both matches. The Srilankan southpaw is still a good pick for your fantasy teams and can be backed to do well in this match.
Jason Roy knows how to approach the innings in the format. He is someone who can call the shots from ball one. In 2 matches in this series, he has scored 53 runs at a strike rate of 135.89.
Top Picks – All-Rounders
Sam Curran is a complete all-round package. He can bowl, can bat, and is even pretty good at fielding. He has scalped 3 wickets and has scored 16 runs with the bat in this series.
Wanindu Hasaranga is the most economical bowler for Sri Lanka in this series. He has scalped 2 wickets at an impressive economy of 4. He is a decent striker of the ball as well.
Top Picks – Bowlers
Adil Rashid is the pick of the bowler for England in this series. He has picked up 4 wickets in 2 matches at an economy of 5.12. Rashid is likely to play a major role in this match as well for the three lions.

Top Picks – Wicketkeepers
Kusal Perera got the start in both matches but failed to capitalize on it. It’s hard to stop when he is in the zone. The Srilankan skipper has scored 51 runs in this series at a strike rate of 100.

ENG vs SL Risky Captaincy Choices:
No. T20I batter Dawid Malan is struggling to score runs in this tournament. He has managed to score 11 runs in 2 matches, and going with his current form, he is a risky captaincy choice for your fantasy teams.
Wanindu Hasaranga is a key player for Sri Lanka. He doesn’t give away runs easily with the ball and a good batter as well. You can take a risk and pick him as your fantasy team skipper.
Player you should avoid:
Since too much competition in the bowler’s slot, it is better to avoid David Willey while making your fantasy teams.
