SL vs SA Dream11 Team - 2nd ODI 2021 | 4 Sep

The last 12-18 months in international cricket have been pathetic for Sri Lanka but they’ve managed to get a few home victories of late. Last month, they got a couple of wins and even a T20I series win against India and now, they’ve made a good start to the 2021 South Africa tour of Sri Lanka, where the schedule includes a total of 3 ODIs followed by 3 T20 internationals as well.

The hosts began the ODI series with a 14-run victory after posting a massive total of 300. South Africa on the other hand made a good reply but only managed 286 which means it was nowhere close to a one-sided contest. From what we know about Colombo pitches, ensure you’re picking as many spinners as you can today. Keep reading for our complete My11Circle (Get Rs.500 FREE*) fantasy preview of the SL vs SA 2nd ODI…

Stats that matter

Head to head in last 5 ODIs, South Africa leads 4-1.
Anrich Nortje – only 5 wickets in last 7 games.
Last 4 games at this venue – 3 have been won batting second.
South Africa – won only 4 of 14 ODIs at this ground.

Sri Lanka

Talking about the spinner and their chances of getting big wickets here, ensure you pick Akila Dananjaya in your SL vs SA Dream11 team today because he got 2 wickets in the last game and more importantly, he’s picked up 19 scalps in just 8 previous ODIs here. We’re not picking Avishka Fernando because he got a century in the 1st ODI but because he’s got 3 fifties and a century in just 7 ODIs at this venue, with a total of 372 runs.

I don’t think Sri Lanka will tamper with their winning combination but we’d like to see more of a contribution from captain and big-hitting lower order batsman, Dasun Shanaka who can also bowl more than he did last game. Someone who we think did brilliantly in the home series against India and can surely be a part of our SL vs SA fantasy cricket tips is Chamika Karunaratne who can surprise the SA batsmen.

South Africa

Biggest news for the visitors is that after Temba Bavuma got retired hurt in the last game, he’s not going to play in the 2nd ODI and it’s likely Reeza Hendricks makes the team. With the bat, Rassie van der Dussen is the best pick for your My11Circle (Get Rs.500 FREE*) SL vs SA fantasy team because he’s their most consistent batter and got 59 in the last game as well. We don’t think Hendricks may make a big impact.

Usually one of my first picks when South Africa plays, Anrich Nortje hasn’t been having the best of time over the last few months and even in the last game, he got 0/69 in his 10 overs. We’d rather pick Keshav Maharaj who usually isn’t a part of the limited overs sides, but he got 2/30 in the 1st ODI. If you need an added batting option, someone who has proved to be good against spin in the past is wicket-keeper Heinrich Klaasen.
