Captain and vice-captain:
A Russell proved why he is the most lethal batsman in T20 cricket by slamming 65 runs from just 19 balls. His innings included 9 fours and 4 sixes. Russell has strike rate of 170 plus in T20 cricket and has scored 5793 runs. He is a very experienced T20 batsman and the ideal choice for captain.
D Chandimal didn’t get to bat in the last game but he is in good form and has already scored a fifty in this tournament. He had made 80 runs from 46 balls in the first match and as he bats, as an opener, he has a good chance to make the most of the Powerplay overs.
S Patel is in incredible form and is a must-have all-rounder in the team. He made 58 runs in the first game and then scored another 41 runs in the second game. He is also a handy bowler and claimed 2 wickets in the last game.
Q Ahmed has been effective with his bowling so far. He has picked a wicket in each of the two innings so far and has bowled probing lines. Expect him to add to his wickets tally in this game.
With the likes of A Russell and D Chandimal in prime form, Colombo start any game as the favorite. So in the CK vs DV Dream11 today match prediction, expect CK to win the game.
