England after knocking off West Indies, Bangladesh, and Australia, has now reached a stage where they will take on Sri Lanka with a lot of form under their belt. Sri Lanka should have their series loss by 3-0 earlier this year in England in their minds. But, this is a good opportunity to take some revenge. For fans, it remains a good opportunity to earn fantasy points.
Here are three surprise picks for the Dream11 fantasy team for ENG vs SL:
1. Chris Woakes
The right-arm swing bowler has been in and out of the T20I side of England for some time but, he is putting his best performances when he has been asked to step up. Against Australia, he was quite fantastic picking early wickets and keeping the pressure on. Earlier this year, during the English summer, Woakes had a white-ball series against Sri Lanka and the batters seem to find it tough to score runs against him. Having said that, he should be an important pick going into this game.
2. Dushmantha Chameera
Dushmantha Chameera has stepped up the task when his team needed an experienced quick bowler. He has had some good performances under his belt this year. Interestingly enough, during Sri Lanka’s tour of England, he was one of the leading wicket-takers and impressed several experts with his death bowling as well as the bowling with the new ball. Having said that, we can expect him to show his true potential against England.
3. Dawid Malan
Dawid Malan might have come into this tournament with the tag of being the no. 1 batter in men’s T20I rankings. However, he hasn’t managed to live up to that. It is also worth noting that he hasn’t even been required to do so as of now. Against Sri Lanka, his services with the bat might be required and to counter the spinners, he might be a vital player. Having said that, he is a good pick for this contest. Against Sri Lanka, he also got some runs earlier this year which is another good sign for his team.
