Topmost Picks for CS vs DA Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Colombo Strikers

• Matheesha Pathirana – He can be a very effective bowler. He has the ability to pick up wickets while being economical and that makes him the best bet from the bowler’s section for the match. He has bowled brilliantly in the last few games and are also expected to bowl at the death.

Top Picks – Dambulla Aura

• Dhananjaya de Silva- He can win games with either the ball or the bat. His versatility and ability to alter the outcome of a game with either of his trades.
• Noor Ahmed- Afghanistan’s Noor Ahmed will be a threat on the low and slow turning tracks of Sri Lanka. Noor Ahmed recently played in T10 League and emerged as one of the top performers.

CS vs DA Probable Winners:

Dambulla meanwhile has struggled with the bat in the initial stage. That is one area that the team needs to get better at. Opener Avishka Fernando in the last match tried to give a good start but despite getting the start, the 25-year-old failed to get going. However, Dhananjaya de Silva’s impressive performance helped the team finish well against B-Kandy Love. On the other hand, their bowlers have done a good job so far in the tournament and that remains one of their strengths. Considering the team combination, Dambulla Aura are expected to win this match.
