TFG Fantasy Pundit: Consistent rainfall on the cards at Leeds for Eng v Sri first Test

Overview 

England will take on Sri Lanka in the first Test match of the three-match series at Headingley. While picking your fantasy cricket teams, keep a close eye on the weather as Leeds can receive some consistent rainfall towards the course of the game. 

Also, pick majority of the players from the England line-up. Sri Lankan pacers and batsmen are likely to struggle initially. 

Probable 11 for this round 

ENG- Alastair Cook, Alex Hales, Nick Compton, Joe Root, James Vince, Ben Stokes, Moeen Ali, Jonny Bairstow, James Anderson, Stuart Broad, Steve Finn 

SRI- Dimuth Karuraratne, Kausal Silva, Lahiru Thirimanne, Milinda Siriwardena/Kusal Mendis, Angelo Mathews, Dinesh Chandimal, Rangana Herath, Suranga Lakmal, Shaminda Eranga, Dusmantha Chameera, Nuwan Pradeep 

Players who cannot ignored 

Alastair Cook- The England skipper is staring at history and should be a determined bloke. Has the ability to score big. 

Joe Root- Arguably the best batsman in the English line-up. Is in prime form at the moment. So, leave him at your own risk. 

James Anderson- He will swing and seam the ball like crazy. Just don’t enter the contest without this champion bowler. 

Dark Horses 

Angelo Mathews- The only Lankan who will give you value for money fantasy points with the bat. 

Stuart Broad- He can be unplayable on most occasions and always like to be amongst the wickets too. 

TFG Pundit XI: Alastair Cook(vc), Alex Hales, Nick Compton, Joe Root(c), James Anderson, Stuart Broad, Steve Finn, Angelo Mathews, Dinesh Chandimal, Kausal Silva, Shaminda Eranga 

Happy Hunting!!!
