Pitch Report

As seen in previous games, the pitch at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium is a competitive one with some help on offer for both batters and bowlers. Powerplay overs will be key with runscoring being easier against the brand new ball. As the match progresses, the ball will start to grip, paving the way for off-pace and back-of-a-length deliveries to play a significant role. Wickets in hand will be critical, with both teams likely to prefer chasing upon winning the toss.

Wicketkeeper

Kusal Perera

Matthew Wade

Batter

David Warner

D. Shanaka

Shanaka is a very useful pick if Sri Lanka bat first, If Sri Lanka's early wickets fall early, then it can contribute significantly with batting and batting as well as bowling in that condition.

Bowler

Mitchell Starc

Mitchell Starc is one of the best bowlers in the world, capable of swinging the ball viciously and nailing the yorkers in the death overs. Starc did pick up two wickets in the opening encounter against South Africa and will be keen to continue his form versus the subcontinent side on Thursday.
