Fantasy Tips of The Day
New Zealand’s seamers have been providing fantasy points in abundance in these conditions. In addition, their top order has been consistently amongst the runs.
Sri Lanka heavily rely on their spinners, while their seam department appears brittle and lacks depth.
Smart Fantasy Picks for the Match
It was Finn Allen’s aggressive approach (42 off 16) at the top that helped New Zealand pile on the pressure on Australia. For his cameo, he generated 34.5 points and stormed into the Ultimate Team.
By picking 5 wickets against Australia, Tim Southee and Trent Boult provided 56 points between them. Moreover, they have also collectively bagged 15 wickets in their last 5 T20Is.
Be it with the bat or ball, Dhananjaya de Silva finds ways to keep fantasy players happy. He has already added 104.5 points for the tournament.
After a poor run in the Asia Cup, Charith Asalanka seems to have found his mojo again. He has generated bonus points for three consecutive thirties in this World Cup.
The wicket at the SCG tends to help the spinners. After his three-fer against Australia, Mitchell Santner will be brimming with confidence.
By putting a price on his wicket, Devon Conway has accumulated 289 runs, including 3 half-centuries in his last 5 T20Is. For the period, he has been a part of the Ultimate Team on 4 out of 5 occasions.
Owing to his consistency, Kusal Mendis is the leading run-getter (176 at 44) in this World Cup. He is also the joint-leader for hitting the most sixes (8).
