Preview

England will take on Sri Lanka in the third and final Test of the series at the Kennington Oval in London, starting Friday, September 6. With the series already in the bag after two commanding victories, England will be eager to wrap things up with a clean sweep. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka, having been outclassed so far, will look to salvage some pride by finishing the series with a win.

England have 7 matches remaining in their WTC 2023-25 cycle. They need to win all seven to have any chance of qualifying for the final of the WTC. Hence, they would go all out to win this match against Sri Lanka. On the other hand, Sri Lanka also would want to win this game to have a stronger chance of challenging India and Australia for the top two spots in the WTC table and qualifying for the final.

As the team gears up for the upcoming clash, all eyes will be on the thrilling competition set to unfold on the cricket field. Ahead of the game, here is a look at the Dream11 predictions, the fantasy tips, the pitch report, the top player picks, and the best-predicted XIs for the fantasy contests of the match.

Injury and availability news

Pitch Report

The average score here in the first inning is 339, and the team that bats first has a better win ratio. However, this venue has a history of producing slightly challenging conditions for the batters, as the fast bowlers will enjoy bowling here. Hence the toss will be important, and batting first might be an ideal choice.

Player Picks

8.5
C

Joe Root ENG | BAT

All eyes will be on Joe Root after his sensational performance in the second Test where he scored two centuries to take his Test Cricket tally to 34. He is now the highest century maker among active players in Tests, and also England's all-time highest century getter as well.

7
C

Asitha Fernando SL | BOWL

Asitha Fernando has been superb for Sri Lanka. He is the only player that has done well in this series for his team. Asitha is the leading wicket-taker in the series with 14 wickets and is expected to finish on a high.

8
C

Milan Rathnayake SL | BAT

Milan Rathnayake has impressed with his pace and accuracy.

8.5

Joe Root ENG | BAT

Joe Root has been fantastic and has jumped to his best career ratings. He smashed twin centuries in the second test, and if he can score two more in the third test, it wonā€™t be a surprise for anyone.

8.5

Ollie Pope ENG | BAT

With the series already won, Popeā€™s captaincy in the final Test will be closely watched. His ability to manage the bowlers and set aggressive fields could be crucial.

8

Gus Atkinson ENG | BOWL

Atkinson has shown remarkable skill, particularly in the second Test, and with The Oval likely to offer some assistance to the seamers, he could be the standout bowler once again.

8.5

Dhananjaya de Silva SL | ALL

As the captain and one of Sri Lankaā€™s most experienced players, de Silva will be crucial in leading the charge for a respectable score. His performance in the previous Tests shows he has the capability to handle the English attack.
