After a spectacular run in the Qualifiers of the 2021 ICC T20 World Cup where they got 3 wins in 3 games with a superior net run rate, Sri Lanka faltered when it came to the Super 12s stage, against the big guns of the cricketing world. In their 4 games, they only managed one win against Bangladesh and they were one of the first teams to be official eliminated from the tournament. Now, they have their last scheduled game.
It’s Match 35 of the T20 World Cup and Sri Lanka has the chance of playing party spoilers against West Indies, with the latter having an outside chance of still qualifying, with 1 win in their 3 games in the tournament. A loss however for WI will mean the end of the road for them as well, playing today at Abu Dhabi. Keep reading for our complete PlayerzPot (Use Code “READ1234“) WI vs SL Dream11 predictions…

Numbers
- Head to head in last 5 games, West Indies leads 4-1.
- Last 4 games at this ground – 3 were won batting first.
- Nicholas Pooran – no fifty in 10+ games across formats.
West Indies
This team is favourites for me because they’ve played a lot at this ground in leagues like PSL and the Abu Dhabi T10 league. Earlier this year, Nicholas Pooran led his side to victory in the T10 League and after 40 runs in the last game, we think he’s hit a little bit of form and is worth adding to your WI vs SL fantasy team. 15* and one wicket with the ball in his first game into the squad, Jason Holder is a must pick as well, since he did well here in IPL 2021 too.
Another player who made his first appearance in the T20 World Cup in the last game was Roston Chase who isn’t ideally known as a T20 player but has reached here because of an exceptional CPL 2021 season with both bat and ball and he’s a fantasy captain or vice-captain option for your WI vs SL Dream11 team. Sri Lankans are good players of spin, so we’re leaving Akeal Hosein out but can pick Dwayne Bravo today.
Sri Lanka
Since they’re already out of the tournament, Sri Lanka may want to test their bench strength which means bringing in Binura Fernando once again in place of either Lahiru Kumara or Dushmantha Chameera (likely to be Lahiru). With the bat, someone who impressed right through is their young opener Pathum Nissanka so we’re picking him while Avishka Fernando failed on every occasion this tournament.

Captain Dasun Shanaka has been having a really tough time this tournament but we think he may have a better run with the bat today, against Windies bowlers who bowl it into the pitch hard. Wanindu Hasaranga is their highest wicket-taker in the tournament and he’s someone you definitely can’t miss in your PlayerzPot (Use Code “READ1234“) WI vs SL fantasy team for today’s encounter.
