Rahmanullah Gurbaz has had a good series so far, scoring 121 runs in two matches. He is one of Afghanistan's go-to players in this format, averaging nearly 45 in 14 games. Given his ability to score quick runs at the top of the order, Gurbaz is a top pick for your SL vs AFG Dream11 prediction team.

Pathum Nissanka (19 matches, 542 runs, Average: 30.11)

Pathum Nissanka has been Sri Lanka's best batter in the series, scoring a quickfire fifty in the first ODI. Although he averages only 30.11 in 19 ODIs so far, Nissanka is known for his ability to score big runs at the top of the order. With Nissanka in fine form as well, he should be a fine pick for your SL vs AFG Dream11 prediction team.

Top All-rounder Pick

Wanindu Hasaranga (33 matches, 37 wickets, Average: 34.86)

Wanindu Hasaranga has been impressive with the ball this series, picking up three wickets in two matches. He is conceding just 4.05 runs per over, stifling batters in the middle overs. Taking his batting ability into consideration, Hasaranga should be a must-have in your SL vs AFG Dream11 prediction team.

Top Bowler Pick

Rashid Khan (85 matches, 159 wickets, Average: 18.79)

Rashid Khan has had a quiet series so far, unable to have a big impact with either the bat or ball.

SL vs AFG match captain and vice-captain choices

Dhananjaya de Silva

Dhananjaya de Silva has been in the Sri Lankan setup for quite some time now. Although he averages less than 30 in 62 matches, De Silva has eight fifties to his name and is a decent player of both pace and spin.
