SL vs AUS Dream11 Prediction: Fantasy Cricket Tips, Today's Playing 11 and Pitch Report for 3rd T20I
The third T20I between Sri Lanka (SL) and Australia (AUS) is set to take place at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Pallekele on Saturday, 11 June.
T20 World champions Australia have been the better team in the series, putting in two wonderful performances with the ball. While their batting briefly misfired in the previous game, their depth showed in what was a close encounter. The Aussies will fancy a clean-sweep over the Sri Lankans, who put in a decent bowling performance in the previous game. However, the hosts will need their batters to step up if they are to come close to beating the Aussies in what promises to be an intriguing contest in Pallekele.

Pitch Report
The Pallekele International Cricket Stadium is a generally a high-scoring ground, with there being some extra bounce in it for the pacers. The batters will enjoy the ball skidding onto the bat under lights, allowing them to play their shots from the start. There should be some turn available in the middle overs as well, bringing the spinners into play. Both teams will look to chase upon winning the toss, with dew likely to play a part in the second innings.

Wicketkeeper
Bhanuka Rajapaksa: Bhanuka Rajapaksa has failed to get going in the middle and death overs in the series. However, Rajapaksa remains one of the cleanest hitters of the world, with his ability against spin being key. With the conditions in Pallekele likely to suit him, he is one to watch out for in this game.
Batter
David Warner: David Warner has been Australia's best batter in the series, coming up with fine knocks at the top of the order. Warner has looked in good form since IPL 2022, with his ability to bat deep being noteworthy. Given his experience and track record in subcontinent conditions, Warner is a good addition to your SL vs AUS Dream11 fantasy team.
All-rounder
Wanindu Hasaranga: Wanindu Hasaranga put in a good performance in the previous game, picking up a few key wickets in the middle overs. He is perhaps Sri Lanka's best bowler in this format, with his record speaking for itself. With his variations and batting ability also bound to come into play, he is a must-have in your SL vs AUS Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowler
Josh Hazlewood: Josh Hazlewood's performances in the T20 format over the last year or so have held him in good stead.
