Top Picks – All-Rounders
Most recently, Wanindu Hasaranga has been Sri Lanka’s most effective bowler. Although he was a little pricey in the last game, he did take two crucial wickets. He will be expected to put on another outstanding effort for Sri Lanka in this game.
In the previous game, Chamika Karunaratne was crucial for Sri Lanka with both the bat and the ball. In 4 overs, he took 2 wickets for 32 runs and scored 16 runs off just 10 pitches. The all-rounder scored 31 runs off of 38 deliveries and smashed 3 fours and 1 six against Afghanistan in the most recent match.

Rashid Khan demonstrated in the last game for what he regarded as one of the greatest in the shortest game after failing to pick up a wicket in the first game. He only allowed 22 runs to be scored in 4 overs while taking 3 wickets. In the course of his spell, he only gave up one four.

Top Picks – Wicketkeeper
