Pitch Report
A decent batting track beckons at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, with help on offer for the bowlers as well. The pacers should get the ball to move around in the early stages, keeping the batters on their toes. As the match progresses, the pitch might get slower, bringing the spinners into the equation. Wickets in hand will be key, with both teams likely to prefer batting first. With the pitch unlikely to change much during the course of the game, 150-160 should be par at the venue.
Today’s SL vs NED Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Kusal Perera: Kusal Perera is one of Sri Lanka's best batters with his attacking prowess bound to yield quick runs at the top of the order. Although he isn't in the best of forms, Perera can be backed to flip the script and come up with a big knock, making him a must-have in your SL vs NED Dream11 fantasy team.
Batter
Stephan Myburgh: Stephan Myburgh is a household name with his 2014 heroics still being highly-regarded. Myburgh is capable of scoring big runs and converting starts into fifties, something that the Netherlands will be keen to have alongside Max O'Dowd in this fixture.
All-rounder
Wanindu Hasaranga: Wanindu Hasaranga has been Sri Lanka's best player in the tournament with a heap of runs and wickets to his name. Hasaranga is being used as a floater with the bat, something that would only add up to his value as an all-rounder in this SL vs NED Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowler
Fred Klaassen: Fred Klaassen's ability to swing the ball and nail the yorkers has held him in good stead so far as he stands out as the Netherlands' best bowler in this tournament. With form on his side, Klaassen should get the nod in your SL vs NED Dream11 fantasy team.
