Player Picks
Dhananjaya de Silva DS | ALL
Dhananjaya has been at the top of his form with the bat and ball, winning matches for his team. He has amassed 104 runs and three wickets in three matches and should be the one to lead your team.
Avishka Fernando DS | BAT
Fernando is a brilliant batter who can play anchor roles well and is a gun fielder as well. He has scored 85 runs in three matches so far and can be a good alternate option for captaincy roles.
Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team
Mohammad Nawaz
CS | ALL
Nawaz has played both matches so far but has been able to score just 13 runs. It would not be a wise decision to include him in your team.
Yashodha Lanka
CS | BAT
Yashodha has managed to score just 11 runs so far in this tournament. He should not find a place in your fantasy team.
