Matheesha Pathirana SL | BOWL

Young Sri Lanka pacer Matheesha Pathirana was quite expensive in the T20I series opener against India as conceded 40 runs in his quota of 4 overs. But still, he ended up as the only bowler to claim a four-wicket haul in the match. Considering his brilliant bowling skills, he can also be selected as one of the captaincy picks.

Sri Lanka opener Pathum Nissanka was in an amazing touch with the bat in the first game against India. He scored 79 runs off just 48 balls, with a strike rate of 164.58, hitting 7 fours and 4 amazing sixes. He can also be selected as one of the top picks in the fantasy team.

Hardik Pandya

IND | BAT

India’s World T20 2024 star, Hardik Pandya couldn’t live up to the expectations in the first T20I of the three-match series against Sri Lanka. He could score only 9 runs of 9 balls, with only one four. So, it would be a better move to avoid him from the fantasy team.

8

Ravi Bishnoi

IND | BOWL

Young Indian leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi went very expensive in the first match against the hosts; he conceded 37 runs in his four-over spell and could scalp only one wicket. So, he can also be avoided from the fantasy team for this match.
