Pitch Report
A pitch that will afford more pace and seam for the seamers. Scoring runs in this venue is a little tough, but the batting becomes a little easier after the 8th over of the innings. Experts don’t prescribe chasing in this pitch.

Fantasy Picks
Captain: D Warner
D Warner, who missed to do well in the game against New Zealand, will look to go hard against Sri Lanka. You cannot control players like D Warner at tournaments like this.
Vice-captain: G Maxwell
With his reverse sweep, G Maxwell will be a taunting figure for the Sri Lankan spinners. At the same time, the speedsters of Sri Lanka won’t be bigger trouble for him.
Wicketkeeper: K Mendis
Mendis will look to use the pace of the Aussie pacers. He looks good in touch. And he will make the most out of it.
Batters: D Warner, A Finch, M Marsh, D Silva
A Finch and M Marsh are the two top-order batters who are expected to use the conditions that are favorable for the batters.
In the Sri Lankan batting, D Silva has started the Super 12 round well, and he will get the flow going.
All-rounders: G Maxwell, D Shanaka, W Hasaranga
D Shanaka had a special memory against Australia when the Sri Lankans last visited Australia. He will step up on big occasions.
W Hasaranga is always on a hunt for wickets. The bigger boundaries will help him to be more confident with the flight.
Bowlers: J Hazlewood, M Theekshana, A Zampa
These three bowlers are the best options you can get out of the list from both teams. They are consistent and make use of every loop in the game.
