DHG vs GGD Match Preview
Achieving the right balance in your Dream11 team is crucial, combining batters capable of demolishing bowling attacks with bowlers who can secure key wickets. All-rounders will be essential, offering the versatility of both skills.
Reeza Hendricks brings stylish strokeplay with the ability to rotate strike effectively. He has 131 T20I runs for South Africa in Sri Lankan conditions. He has also scored a fifty in Sri Lanka in T20Is.
Dushan Hemantha is a promising Sri Lankan all-rounder. His spin bowling and middle-order batting add depth and versatility to the team. He has best T20 bowling figures of four for 19 and a T20 batting high score of 58 not out.
The English batter Alex Hales will look to score quickly and dominate bowlers. His 9000 T20 runs as an opener will strike fear into the powerplay bowlers of Dambulla Sixers.
Afghan Mohammad Nabi is known for his dual skills as a right-arm off-spinner and a powerful lower-order batter. His versatility allows him to provide balance to the team, making significant contributions in both departments. He took two wickets against Colombo Strikers in his previous game.
Mark Chapman is a left-handed batter with a reputation for aggressive and impactful batting in the middle order. The Black Cap has 177 runs in his last four T20 matches with a strike rate almost touching 160.
