IND vs SL Pitch Report

From what we have seen in the first two ODIs, the wicket at the R. Premadasa Stadium is a typical Sri Lankan pitch. It is slow and hard for the batters to score runs on easily. The best time to bat on this wicket is when the ball is hard and new and is coming on easily to the bat. As the match gets old, the ball slows down and starts to turn making life difficult for the batters. 

 Fantasy value from the pitch report

  • The pitch will be at its best for batting when the ball is hard and coming on nicely. So, the top order batters from both teams have the best chance of giving you points.
  • The new ball bowlers might not get too much assistance from the wicket. Try and keep spinners from both the teams in your fantasy XIs.


IND vs SL Fantasy Cricket Tips

India heavy fantasy XI

  • Rohit Sharma has been in a great touch with the bat in this series and is a must-pick for the game. Besides Rohit, other Indian batters have struggled to get going but Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli can be good choices for the fantasy contests. 
  • Washinton Sundar has so far been the best bowler for India. Besides Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav can also be a rewarding choice.
  • Axar Patel has looked in decent all-round form and could be a player who gives you points in both innings of the game. 

Sri Lanka heavy fantasy XI

  • Pathum Nissanka, Avishka Fernando and Kamindu Mendis could be the rewarding picks from the Sri Lankan batting. 
  • Jeffrey Vandersay and Akila Dananjaya will be the most important choices from the Sri Lankan bowling. 
  • Charith Asalanka can be an important player for the fantasy contests in both the innings. 


IND vs SL Winner Prediction

After a tie in the first game, Sri Lanka clinched the second ODI and have taken an unassailable lead of 1-0. India will be looking to make a strong come back in this match, win it and end it in a draw. In both the games we have seen that it gets difficult to bat on this wicket with the progress of the match and hence the team batting first will once again have an advantage in this game. 


IND vs SL Top Player Picks

Rohit Sharma (IND)

While other Indian batters have struggled to get going, Rohit Sharma has looked in a serene touch in this series. The Indian skipper has the form and momentum with him and will be one of the safest picks for the fantasy contests. 

Kuldeep Yadav (IND)

The Indian left-arm wrist-spinner has not been at his best in the series. However, the nature of the wicket suggests that Kuldeep Yadav can emerge as one of the highest point earners in this game. 

Dunith Wellalage (SL)

This young all-rounder has been in a good form with both his trades in the series. Dunith Wellalage's current rhythm with both the bat and the ball makes him one of the top-picks for the game. 

Pathum Nissanka (SL)

Even though he failed in the second ODI, Pathum Nissanka has looked like the best batter from the Sri Lankan team in the series in both formats. Keeping him is mandatory from the Sri Lankan team. 


IND vs SL Differential Picks

Virat Kohli (IND)

Although Virat Kohli has struggled to score big in this series, he has not looked completely out of touch. Besides, Kohli has a great record against this particular team and hence could be one of the rewarding options for the fantasy contests. 

Jeff Vandersay was the hero for Sri Lanka in the second ODI [X]Jeff Vandersay was the hero for Sri Lanka in the second ODI [X]

Given the playing conditions and the form of the players in the series, a 1-5-3-2 or a 1-5-1-4 combination can be rewarding for the game.
