Key Dream11 Picks
MVP (C/VC) Options
Nat Sciver-Brunt (ENG, AR) – Elite all-phase involvement; huge 174-point spike in recent set.
Chamari Atapattu (SL, AR) – Highest ceiling on SL side; opens & bowls when needed.
Sophie Ecclestone (ENG, AR) – Wicket-taking form + batting bonus potential.
Charlie Dean (ENG, AR) – Recent surge; consistent wickets on helpful surfaces.
Safe Core Picks
Amy Jones (ENG, WK) – involvement + catching points.
Heather Knight (ENG, BAT) – stability at #3/#4.
H. Samarawickrama (SL, BAT) – reliable run collector.
L Smith / L Bell (ENG, BOW) – pace bias at Premadasa.
Differential Picks (High-Upside)
Alice Capsey (ENG, BAT) – PP batting + part-time off-spin; recent 120/131 hauls.
Kavisha Dilhari (SL, AR) – sneaky AR points both ways.
Sugandika Kumari / Inoka Ranaweera (SL, BOW) – left-arm spin pair; can feast if ENG chase under lights.
Suggested Dream11 Combination (Small League)
Balance for a balanced pitch with slight pace tilt; 7-4 England lean given form.
WK (1):
Amy Jones (ENG)
BAT (3–4):
Heather Knight (ENG)
Alice Capsey (ENG) (diff pick with ceiling)
H. Samarawickrama (SL)
ALL-ROUNDERS (3):
Nat Sciver-Brunt (ENG) – C
Charlie Dean (ENG)
Chamari Atapattu (SL) – VC
BOWL (3–4):
Sophie Ecclestone (ENG)
L Smith (ENG)
L Bell (ENG) (or swap to S. Kumari (SL) if ENG bat first and you want extra SL bowling exposure)
Bench/Swap ideas: N de Silva (SL BAT) for Knight in grand leagues; I Ranaweera (SL BOW) for Bell in spin-friendly look.
Final Strategy Call-outs
If England bat first: Load ENG top-order (Knight/Capsey) + double up on ENG pacer + Ecclestone; keep Atapattu for chase pressure release.
If England chase: Prioritize ENG all-rounders (Sciver, Dean, Ecclestone) + Jones; add one of Kumari/Ranaweera for mid-innings wickets.
Grand Leagues: Consider Capsey (C) or Ecclestone (C) to break template; Dilhari is a strong punt AR.
Risk management: SL bowling is volatile; rotate Prabodhani/Kulasuriya/Kumari based on toss & cloud cover.
Captaincy TL;DR: Sciver-Brunt > Atapattu ≈ Ecclestone > Dean (safe to bold). Capsey is the X-factor C for GLs.
Good luck, and tweak 1–2 slots after toss based on who bats first and any last-minute XI news!
