The average first innings score here in this tournament is 345 runs.

Toss will be an important factor as although the pitch is good for batting & there will be dew, it will be difficult to chase down the target if the team batting first sets up a good total.

BAN vs SL, Match 38: Top Captain & Vice-Captain Choices

If Bangladesh Bats First

Dilshan Madushanka

Dilshan Madushanka is the second-highest wicket-taker of the tournament with 18 wickets in 7 games. He picked up 5 wickets in the last game against India at the Wankhede Stadium. Madushanka is in excellent form and Bangladesh has been struggling as a batting unit. Dilshan will be a top Captain or Vice-Captain choice. 

Mehidy Hasan Miraz

Mehidy Hasan Miraz is a utility player and he will fetch points from both bat and ball. He moves up & down in the batting order in almost every game but has been in decent touch with the bat. Mehidy will bowl his full quota and Sri Lanka has quite a few left-handers in their line-up. He will be an excellent C/VC option. 


If Sri Lanka Bats First

Kusal Mendis

Sri Lankan skipper Kusal Mendis scored 76 runs in the first game against South Africa at this venue. A big score is due from him and this might be the game where he goes big. Mendis is an excellent player of spin bowling and likes to take the attack to the opposition. Bangladesh's pace attack shouldn't trouble him that much and he will fancy his chances in this game. Mendis will be an ideal C/VC pick. 

Shakib Al Hasan

Shakib Al Hasan will be a key player for his team. He will bowl his full quota and will bat in the middle order. He is very wiley with the ball and can pick up a few wickets in this game. Shakib looked in decent touch with the bat in the last game and will be eager to score some runs in this game. He will be a good C/VC choice in fantasy cricket. 


BAN vs SL, Match 38: High Risk, High Reward Choice

Dushmantha Chameera

Dushmantha Chameera bowled well in the last game against India but managed to pick up only 1 wicket in his 10 overs. We saw Bangladesh struggling against the pace and hard lengths from the Dutch seamers and Chameera bowls like that. He will be an excellent C/VC pick who can help you win one-sided if he gets going.
