Topmost Picks for AFG vs SL Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Afghanistan

• Mohammad Shahzad – He is one of the most destructive batters in T20s. The batter has been left out of the Afghan team due to poor fitness but there is no doubt about his batting skills. He is a match winner on his day.
• Qais Ahmed – Spinner Qais Ahmed will post serious challenge to the inexperienced batting lineup of Sri Lanka. The spinner will not be easy to pick and may turn out to be the leading wicket-taker for Sri Lanka.

Top Picks – Sri Lanka

• Lasith Croospulle – The opener will have to do that job with the bat for the team. Lasith had some decent performance in the Lanka Premier League
• Nuwan Tushara – Nuwan Tushara will be the team’s strike bowler. The bowler had a good run in the Lanka Premier League and picked 11 wickets in 7 games.
