AUT-W vs IM-W Dream11 Match Top Picks
Wicketkeeper - Niroshan Dickwella
The Sri Lankan wicketkeeper looked in good touch in the first match. He played a good knock and set up the chase for this team. However, the middle order crumbled and his efforts bore no fruit. Dickwell still looks like a good option from this category.
Batter - Babar Azam
The Pakistan skipper failed to deliver in the first match. In this match, Babar Azam will look to mend the ways and make a strong comeback. Being the class of batter that he is, Babar can't be ignored after one rare failure.
All-rounder - Wanindu Hasaranga
The Sri Lankan all-rounder has been in brilliant bowling form in recent times. Wanindu Hasaranga was seen picking regular wickets, especially during the ICC World Cup Qualifiers. He will try to maintain his form and if he does he will be a game-changing pick for the match.
Bowler - Dushmantha Chameera
The Sri Lankan pacer has an uncanny knack for breaking partnerships. Chammera's inconsistency with line and length makes him a risky choice, but he is surely one player you cannot miss out on in the fantasy contests of the match.
BLK vs CS match captain and vice-captain choices
Wanindu Hasaranga
The wicket, the format of the game and his own form, everything speaks in favor of Wanindu Hasaranga being the first-choice captain for the fantasy contests of the match.
Babar Azam
The Pakistani skipper failed to get going in the first match. But Babar Azam has too much class to be ignored so quickly. On the basis of his form, Babar might be a risky choice but he will be someone worth the pick in most of the matches.

BLK vs CS Match Expert Tips
The pitch at the R Premadasa Stadium will favor batters in the initial stages. But as the game progresses, the wicket might get a bit slow and the spinners will come into play. Top-order batters, spin bowlers and pacers with a good slower delivery in the repertoire will be good picks for the match.
