Transfers

Transfers Made: 3 | Transfers Remaining: 36.

1) David Warner (BAT) (AUS) (10.5 Credits) - OUT | Dhananjaya de Silva (ALL) (SL) (8 Credits) - IN

2) Mitchell Marsh (ALL) (AUS) (9 Credits) - OUT | Gulbadin Naib (ALL) (AFG) (7.5 Credits) - IN

3) Adam Zampa (BOWL) (AUS) (9 Credits) - OUT| Mahesh Theekshana (BOWL) (SL) (8.5 Credits) - IN.

There's a good chance this game could be interrupted by rain, let alone get washed out. While it is assumed that the matches will go ahead, it's important to consider the possibility of this being a rain-curtailed match. That's why I'm limiting myself to three transfers when I could've made one or two more.

Gulbadin Naib should replace the injured Gurbaz at the top of the order for Afghanistan. His bowling abilities make him a handy all-round option to select. He fits that part-time opener/all-rounder profile of a player I can't resist picking in Fantasy.

The other two players have arguably been among Sri Lanka's best this season. Dhananjaya has contributed with both and ball, and at No.3, he's one of the best options to go for. Theekshana has undoubtedly been their best bowler, holding his own against some of the world's best batters.

As for the transfers out, Australia play seven matches later, and that's why I'm taking their players out.

T20 World Cup Fantasy 2022 - Best Fantasy XI for Super 12: Match 20 - AFG vs SL: Thoughts and Captaincy Tips

Best T20 WC Fantasy team for Super 12: Match 20 - AFG vs SL

Players playing in Match 20 (S12): Charith Asalanka (BAT) (SL) (8 Credits), Mahesh Theekshana (BOWL) (SL) (8.5 Credits), Dhananjaya de Silva (ALL) (SL) (8 Credits), and Gulbadin Naib (ALL) (AFG) (7.5 Credits).

I'm not sure how I ended up holding Asalanka in my team right from the start of the tournament. He isn't that appealing an option, considering his batting position and lack of bowling involvement. But I guess I've always had other priority players to transfer out. I'm hoping for a sizeable haul from him in this match.

The other three players are who I'll be seriously considering for captaincy in this match.
