The average first innings score in Pune has been 300, with the teams batting first, winning 50% of the matches here. Another flat batting track, with the ball coming nicely on the bat, is expected. A total of around 300 will be a fighting one.

Afghanistan: Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Ibrahim Zadran, Rahmat Shah, Hashmatullah Shahidi (c), Azmatullah Omarzai, Ikram Alikhil (wk), Mohammad Nabi, Rashid Khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Naveen-ul-Haq, Noor Ahmad.
Sri Lanka: Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Perera, Kusal Mendis (c & wk), Sadeera Samarawickrama, Charith Asalanka, Dhananjaya de Silva, Angelo Mathews, Maheesh Theekshana, Kasun Rajitha, Dushmantha Chameera, Dilshan Madushanka.

Rahmanullah Gurbaz: Rahmanullah Gurbaz will enjoy batting in Pune, as the ball will come nicely on the bat here. Gurbaz likes playing his shots and can wreak havoc against Sri Lanka.
Rashid Khan: Rashid Khan will always be a good captaincy pick in the fantasy teams. Rashid has a decent record against Sri Lanka, and he can also contribute handsomely with the willow. Expect Rashid to have a good outing.
Kusal Mendis: Kusal Mendis has been in terrific touch lately. He will also enjoy batting on a batting-friendly pitch in Pune. Mendis will also fetch a few points with his wicketkeeping.
Noor Ahmad: Noor Ahmad has surprisingly been picked up by less than 23% of users as of now, making him a good differential pick. Noor bowled brilliantly in the previous game. He can again trouble the Sri Lankan batters with his variations.
Charith Asalanka: Charith Asalanka has been selected by less than 22% of people as of now. Asalanka is a terrific batter and can contribute significantly while batting in the middle order. The track will also suit him.
Ikram Alikhil: Ikram Alikhil might bat in the lower order and won’t bowl much, either. He can be avoided for this clash.
If AFG bat first:
Complete the team with Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Rahmat Shah and Charith Asalanka.
If SL bat first:
Complete the team with Kusal Perera, Sadeera Samarawickrama and Hashmatullah Shahidi.
If AFG bat first:
Complete the team with Rahmat Shah, Charith Asalanka and Kasun Rajitha.
If SL bat first:
Complete the team with Hashmatullah Shahidi, Mohammad Nabi and Maheesh Theekshana.
