1st ODI | ENG vs SL Dream11 Team Prediction: England vs Sri Lanka Best Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI and Top Player Picks
Match Preview for ENG vs SL Dream11 Contest:
The third T20I between England (ENG) and Sri Lanka (SL) will be played at the Emirates Riverside, Chester le Street on June 29th at 3:30 PM IST.
ENG lost their last ODI series 2-1 against India, but they thrashed Sri Lanka 3-0 in the T20I series and will be confident to put up a great show despite not having the likes of Jos Buttler and Ben Stokes with the squad. Opener Jonny Bairstow was sensational against India and he will hold the key alongside skipper Joe Root and all-rounder Sam Curran.
Sri Lanka did win their last ODI game which was against Bangladesh, but having lost the four ODIs prior to that, they will be hoping that their fortunes will change against a formidable England side. Skipper Kusal Perera and Danuska Gunathilaka will be key at the top of the order. But the inexperienced bowling will be a cause for concern.
