Australia will face Sri Lanka in the third and final game of a three-match T20I series at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). The hosts — banking on the magnificent knocks of David Warner and his top-order – have already clinched the Twenty20 series and currently hold an unassailable 2-0 lead with one match remaining. Such has been hosts’ dominance over Sri Lanka that any fantasy team – like the Dream11 fantasy game – you build, are bound to be dominated by the Australian players. Australia are also expected to test their bench strength for the dead rubber on November 1, 2019 (Friday).

Warner, returning from a humiliating Ashes Test series in England, has been in sensational form and has already racked up 160 runs from just 97 deliveries, which includes 19 boundaries and four maximums. It doesn’t matter whether Australia bat first or chase, Warner is expected to continue his demolition against Sri Lanka.

He should be the first name on ever Dream11 fantasy team as should be the top three of Australia’s top-order. Skipper Aaron Finch recorded a 36-ball64 in the first game but out for a first-ball duck in the next. Expect him to fire again. The hosts will, however, miss Glenn Maxwell, who has announced an indefinite break from cricket owing to mental health issues. But Steve Smith would be a good choice.
Lasith Malinga should be the first choice for Sri Lanka in the Dream11 fantasy team. At a time when most of his teammates were smashed all over the park, Malinga averaged 8:25. Sri Lanka’s Kusal Perera should be the wicket-keeping option. Alex Carey would have definitely been the better option, but Carey, unlike Perera, has no guarantees of coming to bat, given the terrific form his top-order has been in.
AUS vs SL – Dream11 Team Prediction – Wicket-Keepers: Alex Carey and Kusal Perera are both good options, but the latter should be picked as he, unlike Carey, is also a top-order batsman and can also score points with the bat.
AUS vs SL– Dream11 Team Prediction – Batsmen: Dream11 allows you to choose a maximum of six batsmen but picking four batsmen would be a good move as lit leaves the other slots open, which could come handy later. Australia opening duo David Warner and Aaron Finch have been in terrific form and should be a must pick for all team. Steve Smith hit a half-century in the only game he had an opportunity to bat and should be the third pick, while you pick either of Ashton Turner (AUS) and Oshada Fernando (SL) as the fourth batsmen in your fantasy team.
AUS vs SL – Dream11 Team Prediction: All-Rounders: Glenn Maxwell would have been a no brainer for this role but he has decided to take an abrupt break from cricket. Dasun Shanaka of Sri Lanka is a good option, while you also pick Ashton Agar should be the second pick for the all-rounder’s role. Agar had figures of 27/2 and 13/1 from four overs in both the games.
AUS vs SL– Dream11 Team Prediction: Bowlers: Adam Zampa and Pat Cummins of Australia are the highest wicket-takers in the T20I series with five and four wickets respectively. Both should easily walk into any side. Lasith Malinga and Nuwan Pradeep are two experienced bowlers for Sri Lanka and can open the attack for your side before Cummins and Zampa step in.
Australia vs Sri Lanka – Dream11 Team Prediction: David Warner, Aaron Finch, Steve Smith, Kusal Perera, Oshada Fernando, Dasun Shanaka, Ashton Agar, Pat Cummins, Lasith Malinga, Adam Zampa and Nuwan Pradeep.
It is important to note that only seven players can be picked from each team and therefore one must distribute the players equally in roles where each player can perform to their expectations and help you score more points. The fantasy team must also fit within the 100 credits available for every game. The team picked for the 3rd Australia vs Sri Lanka (AUS vs SL) Twenty20 game perfectly fits into the rules and regulations of Dream11 and is a very strong team.
