AUS vs SL Fantasy Tips
-
- Marcus Stoinis will be batting lower down the order and is the sixth bowling option. Hence avoid him for this match.
- Mitch Starc has a very good record in WC and the left arm pacer will be an automatic choice if he is playing.
- David Warner scored three half centuries in his previous five One Day International and will be a key pick for this match.
- Josh Hazlewood was impressive with the new ball picking up three wickets against India in the opening game.
- Samarawickrama was also in great form in the recent Asia Cup and also scored a century against Pakistan in the last game.
- Kusal Mendis smashed a century in the previous match and looked in sublime form with the bat. He scored 72 runs in the opening match against South Africa
- Dunith Wellalage has not been able to make much of an impact in this WC and can be left out.
- The surface here has aided the batters quite a bit hence try to cover all the main all-rounders and batters.
