Pitch Report
The pitch at the Sinhalese Sports Club is a good one to bat on with there being little help on offer for the bowlers. Although the batters will look to attack from the first ball, they will need to be wary of extra bounce off the surface. With this being a used pitch, the spinners could play a big role in the middle overs. Both teams will look to bat first and post a big total, with 270-280 being a good total at the venue.
Today's SL-A vs AU-A Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Josh Philippe: Josh Philippe had an off-day earlier in the week, unable to score many runs at the top of the order. However, Philippe is one of the best openers on the Australian circuit, given his range of shots and ability against both pace and spin. With the youngster due for a big knock, he is one to watch out for in this game.
Batter
Oshada Fernando: Oshada Fernando scored a fine fifty in the previous game, using his experience and knowledge of the local conditions to good effect. The Sri Lankan opener has some international experience to fall back on as well, holding him in good stead. With the opener in good form, he is a good addition to your SL-A vs AU-A Dream11 fantasy team.
All-rounder
Dhananjaya de Silva: Dhananjaya de Silva is another Sri Lankan international who had a decent outing in the previous unofficial ODI. While his batting exploits served Sri Lanka well, his off-spin proved to be a threat in the middle overs as well. With the conditions suiting him, De Silva is a must-have in your SL-A vs AU-A Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowler
Mark Steketee: Mark Steketee was a touch expensive in the previous game, but he did pick up a couple of wickets in the death overs. He has been in fine form over the last few seasons, using his variations and swing-bowling ability to good effect. Given his wicket-taking ability, he could be backed to claim a few wickets in this game as well.
