The game will be played on used surfaces and the pitch will certainly be on the slow side with and not much bounce in it.

ENG vs SL: Dream 11 Top Picks
Jos Buttler: The England skipper finally found some form in their previous encounter and stepped up when most required, showing exactly why you never discount greatness. A victory here will take them into the semis and their arch rivals out of the tournament and Buttler will fancy the Sri Lankan bowling attack, especially after his memorable century in the previous edition of the tournament, an innings where he displayed his wide array of shots.
Wanindu Hasaranga: The wily spinner will certainly fancy his chances on a slow and two paced SCG wicket. The bounce on the pitch is also inconsistent and his new Kedhar Jadhavesque release will certainly make the batters think. With the England batting line-up being heavily right loaded, Hasaranga will be a key bowler for the Lankans.
