Hot Picks for IND vs SL Women’s T20 World Cup: Dream11 Prediction & Fantasy Cricket Tips
Smriti Mandhana: Smriti Mandhana, India’s star batter, has struggled at the start of the tournament, scoring low scores in her first two matches. Despite this, she is expected to make a significant impact soon, especially at the top of the batting order. When on song, she can really accumulate huge Dream11 points.
Chamari Athapaththu: The backbone of Sri Lankan women’s side, Chamari has all the tools to make the game for her side. The veteran leader oozes class and can single-handedly steer away her team to victory. Apart from this, she even rolls her arms over.
Arundhati Reddy: She has been the highest wicket-taker for India so far. Arundhati Reddy is enjoying a stellar form and can create impact in Dubai with her change of pace deliveries.
Captain and vice-captain choices: IND vs SL
Chamari Athapaththu: The Lankan skipper has a great record while playing WT20Is against India. In the 24 matches, Athapaththu has made 573 runs, which is her best against any team. Apart from this, she even has 10 wickets against the Women in Blue.
Deepti Sharma: Despite having an ordinary tournament so far, Deepti is a must to have in your fantasy team. In fact, her contributions will be vital. The off-spinner can create impact on the Dubai surface, especially if bowling first.
Dream11 Prediction Team 1: IND vs SL
This is a team heavily favoured with Indian players, simply because of the quality that the Harmanpreet Kaur and her women contain. Richa Ghosh, Harmanpreet and Mandhana are all yet to fire. Meanwhile, Prabodhani and Reddy have been two of the best bowlers. Deepti and Shreyanka Patil’s off-spin should come handy against so many left-handers that SL carry.
Dream11 Prediction Team 2: IND vs SL
This is a slightly riskier team, that you can go ahead with in the grand leagues. Also, this is for a low-scoring game.
