- Ibrahim Zadran** (Afghanistan) [Captain]: **Ibrahim Zadran scored 98 runs in the last game and helped his side chase down the target comfortably. He has been the best batter for Afghanistan in recent times and will be a top pick for this game. Zadran will be our captain for this match.
- Dhanajaya de Silva** (Sri Lanka): **Dhanajaya de Silva will bat in the middle order and he bowled 10 overs in the last game. He scored 51 runs in the first ODI. De Silva will fetch points from both batting and bowling, which makes him a good pick for this game.
