England vs Sri Lanka on November 5

In an all-important clash, England will lock horns with Sri Lanka in Match 39 of the T20 World Cup 2022 in Sydney. With two wins in four games, England need to secure a victory in this game to seal its place in the semi-finals. In their last outing, the Three Lions posted 179 and won by 20 runs against New Zealand. The likes of Jos Buttler and Liam Livingstone are the key players for them. On the other hand, Sri Lanka also have four points and have equal chances of sealing the semis spot. The Lankan Lions restricted Afghanistan to 144 and easily chased down the score, with nine balls to spare. They will rely on the contributions of their top players like Kusal Mendis and Wanindu Hasaranga. It will be interesting to see which team qualifies for the knockouts.

Best economical pick – The in-form batter Charith Asalanka has done well to keep steering the team in crunch moments. In six games, Asalanka has garnered 123 runs at an average of 30.75, with a top score of 38*.

Top captains & vice captains – England's mercurial leader Jos Buttler hasn't had the best of tournaments this time around, but the explosive opener finally found his groove against New Zealand. His form is key for the English outfit heading into the crucial game against the islanders. A great start from the wicketkeeper-batter will boost their chances of making it to the semis. The tournament's leading wicket-taker Wanindu Hasaranaga is going from strength to strength in the shortest format of the game. The mystery spinner is one of the most sought-after talents in the world and he once again showcased his skills against Afghanistan in the last outing, scalping 3/13 in his four overs.

Smart pick – Often under-rated, Dhananjaya de Silva has been a class player for Sri Lanka. With strong composure, he garnered 66 runs off 42 in his latest outing and can be helpful with the ball as well.

Cautious Pick – Adil Rashid has returned wicket-less in three appearances of the tournament. In 12 overs, he has conceded 89 runs, and clearly should not be in your scheme of things.

My XI – Jos Buttler (Captain), Wanidu Hasaranga (Vice-Captain), Dhananjaya de Silva, Charith Asalanka, Alex Hales, Dawid Malan, Liam Livingstone, Binura Fernado, Mark Wood, Moeen Ali, Bhanuka Rajapaksha
