Team India will be eyeing to capture the 8th Asia Cup title. Sri Lanka will be looking to become champions for the 7th time. If you are also planning to make a dream 11 team in this match, we will help you in this.
Captaincy Options: Shubman Gill from India may prove to be the lucky one for the captain. In the last match, he scored a brilliant century against Bangladesh. However, India lost this match. Gill is currently doing well in the tournament. He is the top run-scorer in the Asia Cup this season. Another option could be Kusal Mendis from Sri Lanka. Kusal Mendis is in great form. It was only because of Mendis that the Sri Lankan team could defeat Pakistan. Mendis is the second highest run scorer in the tournament.
IND vs SL: These 5 Indians have scored most runs in ODIs against Sri Lanka, 2 active players in the list
Vice-Captainship Options: Indian team captain Rohit Sharma’s form has been going down continuously in the Asia Cup. In the match against Bangladesh, he was dismissed for just 0 runs. But in most of the matches against Sri Lanka, Rohit Sharma’s bat roars. Its average is 46. He also played the highest innings of his ODI career (263) against Sri Lanka. This year he also scored a half-century against Sri Lanka. Accordingly, it will not be wrong to make him vice-captain. Sri Lanka’s Dunith Velalge could be another option for the vice-captain. Last time against India, 20-year-old Dunith Velalge took 5 wickets for 40 runs.
Wicketkeeper Options: KL Rahul or Kusal Mendis
All-rounder: Hardik Pandya, Dhananjay de Silva or Ravindra Jadeja
Batsman: Virat Kohli, Sadira Samarawickrama
Bowler: Jasprit Bumrah, Mathisa Pathirana, Kuldeep Yadav or Dunith Velalge
Final Dream Eleven: Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill (Captain), Rohit Sharma, Kusal Mendis, Hardik Pandya, Dhananjay de Silva, Dunith Velalge (Vice Captain), Kusal Mendis (Wicket keeper), Sadira Samarawickrama, Jasprit Bumrah, Mathisa Pathirana.
