SL Playing 11 for Sri Lanka vs Ireland, 1st Test Match; Top Picks, Fantasy Cricket Tips for SL vs IRE Dream11 Team Prediction

Sri Lanka is all set to lock horns with Ireland in a two-match Test series and the opening Test match between these two teams is scheduled to begin from 16 April, 2023 at the Galle International Stadium in Galle. The Sri Lankan team did not witness the best of fortunes during their most recent Test assignment as they suffered a poor 0-2 Test series whitewash in New Zealand and most importantly, also lost the chance to qualify for the ICC World Test Championship 2023 final. However, Sri Lanka are still a very tough side to beat at home in the longer format of the game.
