Dream 11 match Top Picks
Batters: Pathum Nissanka, Najibullah Zadran, Charith Asalanka, Angelo Mathews
Pick for best batter: Charith Asalanka
Asalanka performed admirably in the just finished Abu Dhabi T10 league, and given that the league is played in his nation, he is expected to continue on that similar path.
- Dinesh Chandimal is the best wicketkeeper.
- Benny Howell and Wanindu Hasaranga are all-arounders.
- Pick for Best All-Rounder: Wanindu Hasaranga
The captain of Kandy Falcons, who took the most wickets in both the T20 World Cups in 2021 and 2022, is one of the most important players in the Lanka Premier League.
- Bowlers: Romario Shepherd, Fabian Allen, and Jeffrey Vandersay
- Pick for best bowler: Fabian Allen
- Another player, fresh off a standout T10 League performance, is coming straight from Abu Dhabi.
CS VS KF: CAPTAIN AND VICE-CAPTAIN PICKS:
Captain: Wanindu Hasaranga
The best choice for a skipper in your dream 11 team will be a player who has a history of winning games for his team, who has taken the most wickets in the last two World Cups, and who finished second in the Indian premier league in 2022 in terms of wicket taking.
Vice-Captain: Pathum Nissanka
For your dream 11 team, the batter in good form with a solid international reputation is a wise choice for vice captain.

PITCH REPORT
The pitch at the Mahinda Rajapaksa International Stadium has a level surface, but it favours batters more than fielders. 13 games were won by first-inning teams, and 13 games were won by chasing teams. On this field, 172 is the typical score in domestic cricket.
WEATHER REPORT
There is a 40% chance of rain falling during the game, which could spoil the excitement of the Lanka Premier League’s first day of play.
