Pitch Report
As seen in previous games, the pitch in Pallekele is on the slower side with the bowlers ruling the roost in the series. The new ball should help the pacers, who should get some movement off the surface. The batters will have to bide their time in the middle and keep wickets in hand. Both teams will ideally look to bat first upon winning the toss, with the pitch likely to slow down as the match progresses.
Today's SL-W vs IN-W Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Yastika Bhatia: Yastika Bhatia didn't get to bat in the previous game, courtesy of a stunning opening partnership between Mandhana and Shafali. Bhatia is one of the most talented players on the Indian circuit, capable of pacing her innings perfectly in the ODI format. With Bhatia looking good behind the stumps as well, she is one to watch out for in this game.
Batter
Smriti Mandhana: Smriti Mandhana starred in the previous game, scoring 94 off just 83 balls. The southpaw is a world-class batter who has a lot of experience to fall back on in this format. With Mandhana being a decent player of both pace and spin, she becomes a must-have in your SL-W vs IN-W Dream11 fantasy team.
All-rounder
Chamari Athapaththu: Chamari Athapaththu hasn't fired for Sri Lanka in the ODI series, unable to get going in the powerplay phase. She is, however, one of the premier all-rounders in the game, capable of winning games singlehandedly. Although she has been used sparingly with the ball, Athapaththu's batting prowess alone makes her a fine addition to your SL-W vs IN-W Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowler
Renuka Singh: Renuka Singh has been the standout bowler for India in the series with seven wickets to her name in just two matches. She has used the new ball to good effect, swinging the ball viciously and stifling batters for room. With form on her side and the conditions also suiting her, Renuka could prove to be an invaluable selection in your SL-W vs IN-W Dream11 fantasy team.
