Powerplay overs will be key with runscoring being easier against the brand new ball.

Wickets in hand will be critical, with both teams likely to prefer chasing upon winning the toss.
Today’s AUS vs SL Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Kusal Perera: Kusal Perera's form is a slight concern at the moment, but the southpaw is well and truly capable of flipping the script. He has a decent record against the Aussies and will be keen to come up with a sizeable contribution at the top of the order.
Batter
David Warner: David Warner showed glimpses of his ability in the previous encounter against South Africa. He is still due for a big knock, but with his numbers tilting the odds in his favor, Warner should be a good pick for your AUS vs SL Dream11 fantasy team.
All-rounder
Wanindu Hasaranga: Wanindu Hasaranga had an off-day against Bangladesh with both the bat and ball, but it didn't stop the Sri Lankans from registering their first win in the Super 12 phase. His impressive leg-spin combined with his pinch-hitting ability makes him a valuable asset to your AUS vs SL Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowler
Mitchell Starc: Mitchell Starc is one of the best bowlers in the world, capable of swinging the ball viciously and nailing the yorkers in the death overs. Starc did pick up two wickets in the opening encounter against South Africa and will be keen to continue his form versus the subcontinent side on Thursday.
