Top Picks for Dream11 Prediction and Fantasy Cricket Tips:

Avishka Fernando is a Sri Lankan right-handed batter. He has 336 runs in 32 T20I appearances and will be eager to aid his side with another good start with the bat tonight.

Maheesh Theekshana is a Sri Lankan right-handed batsman and right-arm off-break bowler. So far in his 32 T20I outings, he has 31 wickets. For this match, he will be an important bowling selection.

Ishan Kishan is an Indian left-handed batsman. He has scored 589 runs in 21 T20I outings so far. He’ll be looking for another strong start in this game.

Arshdeep Singh is an Indian left-handed batsman and left-arm medium fast bowler. In his 21 T20I outings thus far, he has taken 32 wickets. He has been rather efficient with the new ball and can once again play a key role with it.

Dream11 Team:

• Kusal Mendis and Ishan Kishan are the keepers (C)
• Suryakumar Yadav, Pathum Nissanka, and Shubman Gill are the batsmen.
• Hardik Pandya and Wanindu Hasaranga are both all-rounders (VC)
• Arshdeep Singh, Maheesh Theekshana, Umran Malik, and Yuzvendra Chahal are the bowlers. 

Weather Report:

On matchday, the temperature is forecast to be approximately 27°C, with 55% humidity and a wind speed of 11 km/hr. During the game, there is no danger of rain.

Pitch Report:

The pitch at Wankhede Stadium is a batting-friendly surface that is predicted to help batsmen well in both innings here. Pacers may benefit in the second part of the game, while spinners will be effective in the middle overs. Another run-fest is expected on this track.
