TFG Fantasy Sports: Fantasy Cricket tips for New Zealand v Sri Lanka 1st ODI
OVERVIEW
New Zealand will take on Sri Lanka in the first ODI on January 3 in Mount Maunganui. TFG fantasy sports brings you tips and tricks for this fantasy round. The game will start at 6.30 a.m. IST.
NEW ZEALAND
The Kiwis will be skippered by K Williamson, who also remains a must in your teams for obvious reasons.
T Latham has been rested for this series as Guptill and Munro should open the batting.
R Taylor has scored 181*, 10, 113 & 59 in his four most-recent innings in New Zealand. Hence, dropping could be a risky move.
Boult will lead the seam attack with the new ball and L Ferguson could unleash his pace.
PROBABLE 11
Munro, Guptill, Williamson, Taylor, Nicholls, Siefert, Neesham, Boult, Southee/Henry, Sodhi, Ferguson
SRI LANKA
Lasith Malinga will lead this team that has not been doing well in the ODIs lately. He is also likely to be the only strike bowler.
A Mathews is ruled out with injury and it also remains to be seen if D Chandimal gets in. For experience, the tourists could go to him.
K Perera and Dickwella are certain to open the batting with K Mendis and D Silva handling the middle order.
Gunaratne and veteran T Perera will be the all-rounders, who are valuable picks in fantasy cricket.
PROBABLE 11
K Mendis, K Perera, D Silva, Dickwella, Samarawickrama/Chandimal, Shanaka, Gunaratne, T Perera, Chameera, Malinga, Sandakan
