ENG vs SL Dream11 Prediction: The first of the three one-day international matches between England and Sri Lanka will take place on 29 June at the Riverside Ground in Chester-le-Street. In the recently concluded three-match T20I series between these two teams, England registered a brilliant 3-0 series whitewash by winning all the three matches convincingly. England will miss the services of Jos Buttler in the three-match ODI series as he is out with a calf injury while 3 Sri Lanka players, Kusal Mendis, Danushka Gunathilaka and Niroshan Dickwella have been suspended following a bio-bubble breach. However, both England and Sri Lanka will now be hoping to do well in the upcoming ODI series in order to gain some crucial ODI Super League points.

The pitch at the Riverside Ground is expected to offer good batting-friendly conditions. The bounce will also provide enough assistance to the fast bowlers throughout the game. Toss won’t be an important factor as it will be a belter of a track to bat on.
