5. Dawid Malan
6. Sam Curran
7. Wanindu Hasaranga
8. Chris Jordan
9. Isuru Udana
10. Adil Rashid
11. Chris Woakes
– Going heavy on England as they’re expected to dominate the opponent again in each section.
– Roy and Buttler looks safest C/VC choices as they can score big in front of the weak bowling lineup of Lanka.
– Gunathilaka and Perera looked in decent touch during the last match which makes them good picks.
– Expecting a couple of wickets from Woakes who bowled well during the last match but unfortunately went wicketless.
– Wanindu Hasaranga might be a good punt as he’s batting at 4-5 down and bowling full four overs.
Small League Combination 2 –
1. Jos Buttler(VC)
2. Danushka Gunathilaka
3. Jason Roy
4. Kusal Mendis
5. Sam Curran
6. Wanindu Hasaranga(C)
7. Mark Wood
8. Chris Jordan
9. Adil Rashid
10. Chris Woakes
11. Isuru Udana
– Hasaranga might be a good punt captain choice considering his middle order batting and full overs with the bowl.
– Took all the five bowlers from English team as anyone from them can take wickets in bunches.
– Both the openers are more than enough especially if England opts to bowl first.
– Expecting at least a decent knock from Mendis especially while batting first.
– Isuru Udana will be a safe pick from Lankan team considering his full overs with the bowl and down the order batting.
Grand League Combination –
1. Jos Buttler
2. Eoin Morgan
3. Danushka Gunathilaka
4. Kusal Mendis
5. Liam Livingstone(VC)
6. Dhananjaya de Silva
7. Wanindu Hasaranga(C)
8. Isuru Udana
9. Chris Woakes
10. Dushmantha Chameera
11. Chris Jordan
– Expecting Hasaranga to put up a good show with both bat and ball which makes him good captain choice in both SL & GL.
– Going with a 6-5 combination in favour of Sri Lanka as they might give a tough competition to the opponent.
– Livingstone looks a good VC choice especially if top order of England departs early as he will bat at middle order and bowl a couple of overs too.
– Morgan will be another good GL pick considering his excellent numbers at both venue and H2H matches.
– Dhananjaya de Silva can give decent fantasy points as he’s batting at three down and might get to bowl a couple of overs too.
