Preview:
SLC Reds will take on SLC Greens in the 5th Match of the SLC Invitational T20 League 2021 on Monday. Not the kind of start SLC Reds would have expected into this competition as they lost both their matches very cheaply against SLC Blues and SLC Reds by 56 runs and 35 runs respectively. They need to resolve their batting issues if they want to do well in the upcoming games.
On the other hand, SLC Greens are also searching for their maiden win in this tournament. Despite putting 180 runs on the board they couldn’t defend the target and lost the match against SLC Blues by 5 wickets in the final over of the match. Despite being in the losing cause, Kamindu Mendis has scored 2 half-centuries.

SLRE vs SLGR Top Picks for SLRE vs SLGR Dream11 Match:
Top Picks – SLC Reds
Avishka Fernando who had played well in the ODIs against India is yet to make a good impression in this competition. He is a technically gifted player and we can expect runs from his willow in this match.
Despite struggles from other batters, Oshada Fernando stood strong at one end and scored 52 runs in the previous match against SLC Greys. He can be a good pick for your fantasy teams.

Including 2 half-centuries in the first 2 matches, Kamindu Mendis has scored 127 runs at an average of 127 with a strike rate of 173.97. He is a captaincy pick for your fantasy teams.
After missing out on the half-century by 5 runs against Greys, Pathum Nissanka played really well against Blues and scored unbeaten 76* runs and added to his total tally of runs to 121 in this tournament.
