ENG vs SL Dream11 Prediction 1st T20I England vs Sri Lanka, Player Stats, Pitch Report 23 June

ENG vs SL Dream11 Prediction: England will lock horns with Sri Lanka in the first of the three T20Is on 23 June at the Sophia Gardens in Cardiff. England will be without their star players Ben Stokes and Jofra Archer in this limited-overs series but they still look a formidable side to beat Sri Lanka at home. England last played a five-match T20I series against India in March where they lost 2-3 in a pretty competitive series. On the other hand, Sri Lanka faced a disappointed defeat in the ODI series against Bangladesh recently. Both the teams will be eyeing to pick out their best possible combination for the all-important T20 World Cup scheduled to be held later this year.
