Big pressure on the hosts Australia as they lost their first game of the 2022 ICC T20 World Cup to New Zealand, and they lost by a big margin as well. Prior to that, they lost a couple of T20Is to England as well, so they haven’t been having the best time in terms of results in recent weeks. However, they are the defending champs and we expect them to bounce back hard and get a big win in order to balance out the net run rate a bit.
On the other hand is a spirited team in Sri Lanka who lost their first game of the 2022 Asia Cup only to bounce back and win the tournament itself. Similarly, they lost their first game of the 2022 T20 WC qualifiers and since then, they’ve won three games on the trot. Plenty of reason for Sri Lanka to win, and you can keep reading for our complete MyFab11 (sign-up with code “READAD46“) AUS vs SL fantasy preview…

Numbers
- Head to head in last 5 games, Australia leads 3-2.
- Three T20Is at this ground; top score of 208/6 (Oct 2022).
- 73 and 48 – David Warner’s two T20I scores here.
Australia
An expensive 4 overs in the last game and only 7(14) with the bat means Marcus Stoinis had a poor outing against New Zealand. The hosts are likely to go in with an unchanged team but if anything, I’d suggest having Cameron Green in place of Stoinis and if he makes the team, he’s fit to be captain of your AUS vs SL fantasy team. Adam Zampa was also expensive in the last game but he’s a regular T20 wicket-taker, so don’t leave him out.
If you need another bowling option, it should be Josh Hazlewood because he’s consistently showed how a bowler like him can be successful in the shortest format as well, picking 2 against NZ as well. With the ball, he didn’t get many runs in the last game but David Warner is the highest T20I run scorer for Australia vs Sri Lanka and has good scores in the two games he’s played here as well. The only person showing intent in the last game was Glenn Maxwell, and he should be picked too.
Sri Lanka
The top 8 wicket-takers in T20Is at this ground so far (in three games) have all been medium pacers, so use that as a bit of a reference while picking players to your AUS vs SL Dream11 team. Among the SL bowlers, Pramod Madushan may come back in for Lahiru Kumara while Pathum Nissanka who missed the last game due to groin injury may slot straight back in fro Ashen Bandara if he passes the fitness test.

Dhananjaya de Silva is batting up the order these days and they’ve been throwing him the ball in almost every game as well, so he’s another good pick to be captain or vice-captain of your MyFab11 (sign-up with code “READAD46“) AUS vs SL fantasy team, since there’s max exposure and participation. Having a great IPL and then plenty of wickets in international games too, spinner Maheesh Theekshana is high on confidence.
