SL vs AUS Dream11 Prediction: Bowlers
Chamika Karunaratne
Chamika Karunaratne has been wicketless only once in his last 7 ODIs (total 9 wkts taken). He has a batting average of 38 in ODIs and thus he can score fantasy points with the bat as well. In his 3 ODIs at this venue, his runs scored/wkts taken read 30/1, 34/1 & 5*/3 which are great numbers.
Jeffrey Vandersay
Jeffrey Vandersay has played 3 ODIs at this venue in which his bowling figures are 4/10, 3/51 & 2/44. Also given that AUS middle order does struggle a little bit against Spin, he can be a good pick.
Josh Hazlewood
Josh Hazlewood took 6 wkts in 3 matches in the recent T20I series and thus is looking in good rhythm. Talking about his recent performances in ODIs, he has taken has taken 2, 3, 1, 2 & 3 wickets respectively in his last 5 matches.
SL vs AUS Dream11 Prediction: All-Rounders
Wanindu Hasaranga

Dhananjaya de Silva
Dhananjaya de Silva's runs scored/wkts taken against AUS in his last 4 ODIs are 16*/2, 34/2, 76/0 & 12/1 and thus has had a great amount of success against them in recent times.

Glenn Maxwell
Glenn Maxwell has scored 59, 63*, 45 & 108 runs in his last 4 ODIs and thus is in great form. Talking about his bowling, Pallekele is a venue which does suit spinners and SL also has many left handers in their batting lineup and this could prove beneficial for Maxwell.
