Analysis:
Sri Lanka had a game to forget against Afghanistan in their first match of Asia Cup 2022. Despite that two names stand out, which are an absolute must in your Fantasy Teams if you are looking to play a safe game. These are Bhanuka Rajapaksa who top-scored for Sri Lanka in the match and Wanindu Hasaranga who scalped the only wicket that the official hosts of the tournament managed to take in that match but on his day and be handy with the bat as well.
Similarly, Bangladesh's Shakib Al Hasan (1/13) and Mosaddek Hossain (1/12 and 48) should be considered for a place in the Fantasy teams. While Shakib missed out with the bat, he is a remarkable batter and can fetch points for his batting talent as well.
Other than the picks based on recent performances, wicketkeepers from either side Mushfirqur Rahim and Kusal Mendis can both find a place in the team with both providing batting options as well.
Pathum Nissanka, Asalanka, C Karunaratne, Mustafizur Rahman, Anamul Haque and Mohammad Saifuddin are other options that can be considered. Mahmudullah is another handy option but might not get enought deliveries to fetch points in Fantasy game.
