Top Fantasy Picks
Captain: M Nabi
Nabi is the skipper for his three-dimensional role, and his form is also considered a huge factor in this game.
Vice-captain: W Hasaranga
Hasaranga’s middle overs set the tone for the Sri Lankans in this tournament. The leg spinner is in good touch with the rhythm and consistency. So he will be a significant source for us.
Wicketkeepers: K Mendis, R Gurbaz
K Mendis’ on-and-off performances in this tournament make it difficult for the fantasy teams. But he will be able to put on a show against Afghanistan’s bowling attack.
R Gurbaz’s destructive batting will get its way to putting runs on the board.
Batters: D Shanaka, I Zadran, P Nissanka
D Shanaka for his spin power hitting and Nissanka for his all-round batting skill are picked in our team.
I Zadran, the one down batter of Afghanistan, is technically sound. He will get to play a great innings against Sri Lanka.
All-rounders: W Hasaranga, D Silva, M Nabi
D Silva’s techniques against spin bowling are a mandatory element as a batter against a team known for its spin attack, Afghanistan.
Bowlers: R Khan, K Rajitha, F Farooqi
R Khan is an obvious choice for what he usually does.
K Rajitha’s high release point will be difficult for Afghan batters to adapt.
The in-form F Farooqi will get the conditions suited for his swing and seam movements.
