India (IND) and Sri Lanka (PAK) will lock horns in the third Super 4 match of the Asia Cup 2022 at the Dubai International Cricket Ground in Dubai on Tuesday, September 6. Ahead of the match, here's everything you need to know about the IND vs SL 2022 Dream11 prediction.
India, after starting their Asia Cup with two wins, succumbed to a loss at the hands of Pakistan in their first Super 4 clash. However, they are still the favorites to make it to the final, for which a win against the Lankans is a must. Team India will bank on their star-studded batting unit to come through for them with all eyes on Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul.
Sri Lanka, meanwhile, come into the game on the back of two wins, including a brilliant victory over Afghanistan in the Super 4 stage. While they will start as underdogs, Sri Lanka will bank on their spin duo of Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana to deliver the goods.
With this potentially being a must-win game for both teams, a cracking contest is on the cards in Dubai.

IND vs SL Dream11 match top picks
Top Wicketkeeper Pick
Kusal Mendis (3 matches, 98 runs, Average: 32.67)
Kusal Mendis has been Sri Lanka's best batter in the tournament, scoring 98 runs in three matches. His last two outings have seen him come up with scores of 36 (19) and 60 (37). Given the form that he is in at the moment, he is a good pick for your IND vs SL Dream11 fantasy team.
Top Batter Pick
Suryakumar Yadav (3 matches, 99 runs, Strike Rate: 183.33)
Suryakumar Yadav is another in-form batter who has excelled in the Asia Cup 2022. He has scored 99 runs in three matches, with his strike rate of 183.33 standing out. Surya's lone outing against Sri Lanka in his T20I career saw him score a fifty. With the right-handed batter being a good player of spin, he should be one to watch out for in this game.
Top All-rounder Pick
Wanindu Hasaranga (3 matches, 20 runs, 3 wickets)
Wanindu Hasaranga has not been at his fluent best, picking up three wickets in as many games. He is conceding just over 7.5 runs per over, which is not too bad. With the Indians struggling a bit against spin in the Asia Cup 2022, Hasaranga should be a top pick for your IND vs SL Dream11 fantasy team.
Top Bowler Pick
Ravi Bishnoi (1/26 vs Pakistan in the previous match)
Ravi Bishnoi was the pick of the bowlers for India in their previous game, returning with figures of 1/26. He has a decent record in T20Is, taking 16 wickets in 10 matches. He has a commendable strike rate of 14.50 in T20Is, holding him in good stead. Given his performance in the previous game, Bishnoi should be a good pick for your IND vs SL Dream11 fantasy team.
IND vs SL match captain and vice-captain choices
Wanindu Hasaranga
Wanindu Hasaranga has a decent record against India in T20Is, picking up 10 wickets at an average of 12.40. Although he has been a touch wayward in the last few games, Hasaranga is perhaps Sri Lanka's best bowler. With Hasaranga also capable of scoring quick runs, he is a good option as captain or vice-captain of your fantasy team.
Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma has come up with scores of 12 (18), 21 (13) and 28 (16) in the Asia Cup 2022. His form has improved with each passing game. But Rohit is due for a big knock and should be a brilliant captaincy pick for your IND vs SL Dream11 fantasy team.
