Player Picks
Kusal Mendis SL | WK
The wicketkeeper-batter holds impressive stats in the longer format of the game, scoring 4000 runs at an average of 36.35, including nine centuries and one double century. Notably, Mendis was also the leading run-scorer in the T20I series against Bangladesh.
Nazmul Hossain Shanto BAN | BAT
The Bangladesh skipper is one of the top contenders for the captaincy. He has been in great form and importantly, is the second highest run scorer in the ODI series with 163 runs including a century.
Taijul Islam BAN | BOWL
Taijul Islam is likely to trouble the batters with his left-arm spin deliveries. The 32-year-old has played 44 Test matches and has taken 192 wickets. Islam will have a good time in the middle as the pitch helps the spinners more.
Prabath Jayasuriya SL | BOWL
Jayasuriya has taken 67 wickets in 10 matches at an average of 26.18. The left-arm spinner is likely to shine in the spin conditions offered by the Sylhet Stadium.
Mehidy Hasan Miraz BAN | ALL
The spin all-rounder is one of the key players in the Bangladesh team across formats. His contributions in both departments can earn you good points on fantasy teams.
Mominul Haque BAN | BAT
M Haque has been impressive in recent times and is likely to continue his fine form in the upcoming series as well. The 32-year-old has scored 3883 runs in 59 Tests at an average of 38.07 including 12 centuries.
Angelo Mathews SL | ALL
The veteran all-rounder has been a key cog in Sri Lanka's Test team over the years. Mathews' contributions to both departments would make him a great addition to your fantasy team.
Ramesh Mendis SL | ALL
Ramesh Mendis can be effective in Sylhetās spin-friendly pitch. The right-arm off-spinner has picked up 63 wickets from 14 matches. He can also chip in with some valuable runs.
Dhananjaya de Silva SL | ALL
The Lankan captain's contributions in both bowling and batting departments make him a valuable asset to the team. He has 34 wickets and over 3300 runs in 52 Test matches.
Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team
Sadeera Samarawickrama
SL | WK
There is no doubt about Samarawickrama's abilities, but the star batter has struggled for runs in the recently concluded ODI series. Considering his poor form, picking him in the series opener is not a wise decision.
Liton Das
BAN | WK
The wicketkeeper was dropped from the final ODI due to poor form and has been included in the Test team. Das is not guaranteed to perform well in the Test series, so wait for the next match to include him in your squad.
