SL vs IND Dream11 team 1st ODI: who will win today match prediction?

SL vs IND dream11 today match prediction: Sri Lanka are in desperate need for ODI super league points as they are stumbling to pocket points at the moment and there is a chance that they may not qualify directly for the 2023 WC. After a lot of concerns, Sri Lanka have finally managed to assemble a full strength squad barring Kusal Perera who had to miss the series due to injury.

The new captain coach combination in Shikhar Dhawan and Rahul Dravid would like to take one game at a time and give all the youngsters and fresh faces who have earned a call up to the national team a go at some point in the series. The fact that India have a strong squad for the Sri Lankan series despite the fact that their A tier stars are in England for the upcoming test series shows the tremendous depth of India.

In dream11 prediction, lets bring out the strengths, weaknesses and stats of players from both the teams.

• Wanindu Hasaranga has been the real breakout star for Sri Lanka in the last year and a half in white ball cricket. He will be looking forward to show what he is capable of against a strong Indian side.
• Shikhar Dhawan’s place in the shortest format of the game has been under constant scanner but he is one of the best openers for India in ODI cricket.
• Prithvi Shaw was seen smacking all the bowlers in the IPL and this will be a massive opportunity for him to make a statement after having already made one in the IPL.
