SL vs PAK Dream11 Match Preview

The final of Asia Cup 2022 is finally here. Sri Lanka and Pakistan will lock horns to become the new Asian Champions. It will be a thriller of a contest between them.  

Sri Lanka, after losing the first game has bounced back very strongly and has won 4 games in a row since their defeat against Afghanistan. Their batters and bowlers are in top form and will look to give their all in this match. Kusal Mendis, Pathum Nissanka, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Dasun Shanaka, etc have been in excellent touch with the bat. Danushka Gunathilaka is yet to fire and he’ll look to do that in the finals. 

Their bowlers have done an amazing job as well. The inexperienced pace attack of  Dilshan Madushanka and Asitha Fernando have bowled well and Pramod Madushan also did well in the only game he has played this tournament. The spinners are the backbone of the Sri Lankan bowling attack and the likes of Wanindu Hasaranga, Maheesh Theekshana, and Dhananjaya de Silva will be very crucial with the ball. Dasun Shanaka and Chamika Karunaratne will also chip in with a few overs. Sri Lanka defeated Pakistan in the last Super 4 game and will look to do a double on them and win the title.

Pakistan too has been in tremendous form as a team. They have been very flexible with their batting order and that has been very beneficial for them. Babar Azam is yet to score in this tournament and he will look to score big in the finals. Mohammad Rizwan will be their best batter and the onus of scoring most of the runs will be on his shoulders. Fakhar Zaman’s poor form is a big concern for them. The all-rounders - Mohammad Nawaz and Shadab Khan have been in sublime form with both bat and ball and they will look to continue their good performance. Iftikhar Ahmed has impressed and a big score is needed from him. 

The pace trio of Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf and Mohammad Hasnain has bowled well and they’ll need to pick wickets for their side. As mentioned above, the spinners have been in top form and will be crucial with the ball. Pakistan has good depth in the squad and will look to settle the score with Sri Lanka in the finals of the tournament.

Top Captaincy Choices for SL vs PAK Dream11 Match

• Wanindu Hasaranga: Wanindu Hasaranga will be an excellent captaincy choice in fantasy cricket. He is one of the best bowlers in the shortest format and has an extraordinary record against Pakistan. He has picked 11 wickets in 4 games against Pakistan and has never been wicket-less and has picked at least 2 wickets in every game. He picked 3 wickets in the last game against Pakistan and will look to replicate that in this match as well. He is handy with the bat too and can score some runs if he gets the chance to bat.

• Shadab Khan: Shadab Khan has been in fantastic form in Asia Cup 2022. He has contributed with both bat and ball for his team. He rested in the last game and will be back in the eleven for the finals. Shadab will be a key player for Pakistan as the Sri Lankan batters struggle against leg-spin and he is a good player of spin as well. He can pick wickets and may get promoted up the order.

Budget Pick for SL vs PAK Dream11 Match

• Haris Rauf (8.5 Credits): Haris Rauf will be a good budget pick for your fantasy teams. He will bowl with the new ball and then in the back end of the innings.
