Pitch Report

A good batting track is expected in Dharamsala with the pacers being key. The pacers should get ample movement and bounce off the surface. The batters will ideally look to set-up for the long haul, although the spinners should also have a say in the middle overs. Dew should play a part in the second half of the match, with both teams likely to prefer chasing upon winning the toss. 170 should be a good total, with wickets in hand being crucial towards the death overs for either side.

Today’s IND vs SL Dream11 match top picks

Wicketkeeper

Sanju Samson: Sanju Samson didn't get much of an opportunity in the previous game but he is one of the most explosive batters in the middle overs. Capable of taking on both pacers and spinners, Samson will be key in the backend of the innings against the likes of Kumara and Chameera. With the right-hander in decent touch as well, he is one to watch out for along with Ishan Kishan.

Batter

Charith Asalanka: Charith Asalanka was the only bright spot in a rather abject Sri Lankan batting performance in the previous game. The Lankan batter has been in fine touch over the last few months and can also chip in with the ball, making him a good addition to your IND vs SL Dream11 fantasy team.

All-rounder

Dasun Shanaka: Dasun Shanaka had a decent outing in the previous game with the ball, but couldn't get going on the batting front. The Sri Lankan captain will be key in the middle overs, with his ability to score boundaries at will being noteworthy. With the conditions likely to suit his skill-set, Shanaka could fare well in this game.

Bowler

Jasprit Bumrah: Jasprit Bumrah didn't pick up any wickets on his return to the T20I side, but did show glimpses of his undeniable ability with the ball. The star pacer is known for his wicket-taking ability across all phases of an innings, which should hold him in good stead. With Bumrah being due for a few wickets, he is a must-have in your IND vs SL Dream11 fantasy team.
