Match Preview for Dream11 Fantasy

England Under-19s have won back to back three games and they look in good form after getting knocked out from the race to qualify for the finals of the mega event. In batting, they have George Hill, Jordan Cox and Dan Mousley, who have compiled some good runs for their side in the ongoing tournament. Meanwhile, their bowling unit has tremendously improved in the last couple of games. George Balderson took three wickets in the previous game for England colts and he will look to replicate his good form in the upcoming match.

Sri Lanka colts have risen as a strong team after facing defeat in their first two games in the ongoing tournament. They have all their bases covered going into the match against England. They boast of a strong batting line up that comprises of Navod Paranavithana, Kamil Mishara and Ravindu Rasantha, who are consistently scoring runs for their side. Nipun Dananjaya has done an extraordinary job as he contributed well with the bat. He would be expected to continue with the same against England colts.

Pitch Condition/Report:

The pitch at the Willowmoore Park is expected to offer a fair battle between bat and ball. The batters will find it difficult to pile runs against the fast bowlers in the early stages of the game.
