SL vs NZ Team News:
- Akila Dananjaya and Kane Williamson have been reported for suspect bowling actions. While Williamson’s participation is a sure shot one since he is a part-timer, chances of Akila playing the contest is also high.
- New Zealand shouldn’t be making many changes to their set-up although better performances are in order. Kane Williamson wasn’t able to make a mark in the first Test and would love to come good this game.
- Sri Lanka should field the same set of players for this game as well. Their trio of spinners was on song with Akila Dhananjaya, Dhananjaya de Silva and Lasith Embuldeniya accounting for thirteen wickets in the previous game.
SL vs NZ Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Tips:
- Three very talented keepers are available for the taking with BJ Watling scoring a fifty in the first Test. Although any one of the three options would suffice, Kusal Perera is the preferred option given his form over the last year or so.
- Dimuth Karunaratne put in a Man Of The Match performance in the first Test and should be picked in the fantasy side for this game as well. Along with the Sri Lanka captain, one of Kusal Mendis and Angelo Mathews should suffice from the Sri Lankan roster.
- New Zealand captain Kane Williamson threw his wicket on both occasions but should do well in this crucial Test while Tom Latham’s gritty batting style makes him a good option.
- Dhananjaya de Silva is a must-have in the fantasy side with his off-spin also bound to come into play. Although he wasn’t able to make an impact, Mitchell Santner should bounce back with the pitch also suiting him in Colombo.
- Spinners are preferred in the bowling unit with the likes of Ajaz Patel and Lasith Embuldeniya being ones to watch out for in this Test match. With a good number of left-handers in the Sri Lankan side, Will Somerville is also a viable option while Suranga Lakmal and Trent Boult could also pick a good number of wickets with their ability to swing the ball being well-documented.
Captain & Vice Captain Choice For Dream11 Teams:
Captain – Dimuth Karunaratne, Kane Williamson, Akila Dananjaya
Vice-Captain – Ross Taylor, Ajaz Patel, Kusal Mendis
