Five must-have Fantasy Picks for IND vs SL 2nd T20-
Shikhar Dhawan – Shikhar Dhawan has been a consistent contributor with the bat on the tour so far. He finished as the leading run-scorer for India in the ODIs scoring 128 runs in 3 innings at an average of 64.00. He scored a steady 46 off 36 deliveries in the opening T20I and is likely to continue his good form.
Surya Kumar Yadav – Surya Kumar Yadav, if features in the playing11, is a must-have pick as a middle-order batsman in your fantasy team. He is in stellar form which has earned him a call to join Virat Kohli-led Indian side in England. Surya Kumar Yadav was the second leading run-scorer in the ODIs for India behind S Dhawan, scoring 124 runs in 3 innings, and propelled India to a competitive total with his 34-ball 50 in the first T20I.
Charith Asalanka – Charith Asalanka is the only in-form batter from Sri Lanka who can really pose a threat to the Indian bowling line-up. He kept the hopes alive for Sri Lanka in the first T20I with his quickfire 44 off just 26 deliveries. Asalanka was also a consistent scorer in the three ODIs as he finished as the third leading run-scorer in the series, scoring 127 runs in 3 innings at an average of 42.33.
Avishka Fernando – With 159 runs in 3 innings, Avishka Fernando ended up as the top run-scorer in the three-match ODI series. The Sri Lanka opener scored 33, 50, and 76 in the three ODIs respectively. He got off to a good start in the first T20I as well, scoring 26 off 23, but couldn’t capitalize on it.
Wanindu Hasaranga – The only Sri Lankan bowler who has managed to trouble Indian batters to some extent, Wanindu Hasaranga can be the game-changer for the host as he was in the second ODI with his 3-37, before D Chahar’s heroic guided India home. Hasaranga picked up 2-28 in the first T20I and can also contribute with the bat. He was the top run-scorer for Sri Lanka in ODIs on England tour.
