Pitch Report
Headingley should produce a high-scoring game with overcast conditions on offer for the new ball bowlers. With this being the first game being held in Leeds this tournament, a fresh wicket should help strokeplay with scores over 300 expected given the form of the England batsmen.
Fantasy Tips and Suggestions
Wicket-keeper: With four very good wicket-keeping options on offer, Jonny Bairstow and Kusal Perera are must-haves in the side given their enormous ability and form at the top of the order. Along with him, the explosive Jos Buttler is also a great option with the Lancashire keeper due for a big one on Friday.
Batsmen: Joe Root and James Vince are brilliant options to have in the side with the Sri Lankan bowlers not posing many threats with the new ball. Along with the aforementioned duo, one of Angelo Mathews or Lahiru Thirimanne should suffice as the final option.
All-rounders: Thisara Perera is quite capable of teeing off in the latter overs but hasn’t been able to do so this World Cup. Much is expected from the all-rounder as he is picked for this game along with Moeen Ali, whose off-spin could yield a wicket or two on Friday.
Bowlers: Chris Woakes and Jofra Archer have been lethal with the new ball and should continue to do so against the Sri Lankans as well while Mark Wood and Adil Rashid are also more than handy options to have in the side. Lasith Malinga hasn’t been in the best forms off late but should be backed to provide a few breakthroughs against the mighty English.
Captain: Jonny Bairstow and James Vince should open the batting against Sri Lankan on Friday which gives them enough time to get themselves in and launch an attack in the latter overs, making them perfect captaincy candidates. Along with them, Kusal Perera and Joe Root are also decent options to opt for this match.
