#3 Shakib Al Hasan
Shakib Al Hasan didn’t have the best of games with the bat in the first Test of the series. He managed to score only 26 in the first innings.
He was good with the ball in the first innings as he finished with three wickets and bowled economically. He picked up a wicket in the second innings as well.
Shakib is too good a player to miss out once again and expect him to come good in the second Test of the series. He is a must pick in your Dream11 side as he can fetch you points with both bat and ball.
#2 Angelo Mathews
Angelo Mathews displayed a batting masterclass in the first Test. He played some brilliant strokes and scored a superb ton.
He looked on course to score a double century but missed out on it by a single run. Mathews hit 19 boundaries and a maximum in his marathon innings that lasted 397 balls.
Mathews has been a vital cog in the Lankan batting lineup for the past few years and he will continue to play a key role in the second Test. He was dismissed for a duck in the second innings of the first Test but expect him to perform well once again in the final Test of the series.
#1 Tamim Iqbal
The left-handed opening batter from Bangladesh has been one of their most prolific run-scorers in the past few years. He played aggressively in the first innings of the first Test and scored a fantastic 133 off 218 balls, hitting 15 boundaries.
Tamim's ability to adapt to the conditions makes him a valuable player in the Bangladesh’s side. He averages 40.17 in Tests and hit his 10th Test ton in Dhaka.
He will look to continue his rich vein of form and is expected to score heavily in the second Test in Dhaka.
