SLL vs NCT Dream11 prediction
Sri Lankan Lions and Nicosia Tigers will fight it out for the third-place playoff spot. Both sides finished with seven wins across 12 matches with Sri Lankan Lions ending higher up courtesy of a better net run-rate.
The match is expected to be a thriller with not much to separate between the two evenly matched teams although Sri Lankan Lions hold a slight advantage winning three of their last five matches in the tournament.
SLL vs NCT Dream11 team tips for ECS T10 Cyprus
Top Tip: Best batsman
BLCS Kumara of SLL is a top pick for this clash. The southpaw is amongst the leading run-getters in the tournament with 226 runs across 11 matches at a strike-rate of 147. Kumara opens the innings for his side and has a good chance to score lots of fantasy points. The 37-year-old will have the onus of providing Sri Lankan Lions with a good start and help Sri Lankan Lions finish third in ECS Cyprus T10 2021.
Top Tip: Best bowler
Kamal Raiz of SLL will be the bowler to watch out for in this fixture. The right-arm pacer has taken 15 wickets in 12 matches so far with a wicket almost every eighth ball. The veteran pacer is currently the leading wicket-taker in the tournament and will be a valuable addition to the fantasy teams.
Top Tip: Best all-rounder and wicket-keeper
Iftekar Jaman of NCT is the best all-round option for this encounter. The right-hander has scored 127 runs in 10 innings so far at a whopping strike-rate of 187. The 29-year-old has been equally deceptive with the ball in hand, scalping 12 victims at an economy of 7.73. Given his all-round form, Jaman is a must-have pick for this match.
Amongst the wicket-keepers, Roman Mazumder of NCT is an excellent option. The 28-year-old has scored 219 runs in 10 innings so far at a strike-rate of 141. Being an opener, Mazumder can garner handy fantasy points besides his wicket-keeping. The right-hander is due for a big knock and therefore should be a part of the fantasy team in this crucial encounter
SLL vs NCT probable playing XI
SLL playing XI (probable): Sachithra Tharanga, BLCS Kumara, Chamal Sudan, Nalin Gamage, Kapila Hemantha, Ruwan Jayakodi, Buddika Mahesh, Nalin Pathirana (captain and wicket-keeper), Denuwan Pratana, Kamal Riaz, Roshan Sirwardana
