BAN vs SL Dream11 Team - 1st ODI 2021 | 23 May

We have the return of international cricket with the 2021 Sri Lanka tour of Bangladesh, where 3 ODIs will be played between 23-28 May 2021. Recently, the Test series was played in Sri Lanka and the hosts were dominant, winning 2-0 and sweeping the series. Now it’s time for the limited overs series and all three games will be played in Dhaka, where the home team has a brilliant record in recent years.

Bangladesh has proved to be unbeaten at home in recent series and will look to cash in on some points in this ICC Men’s Super League series. Pick as many spinners as you can as they’ve been assisted here historically and if you want to place some bets, ensure you have Bangladesh in your bet slip here.

Numbers

Head to head in last 5 games, Sri Lanka leads 3-1.
Last 5 ODIs at this ground – Bangladesh have won 4.
Last 4 ODIs at this ground – all won batting second.
Tamim Iqbal – 3 fifties in last 4 Test innings in Sri Lanka.
Danush Gunathilaka – 3 fifties in last 5 international games.

Bangladesh

Biggest news for the hosts is the return of Shakib al Hasan who was out on a 1-year ban and he’s got 2,000+ ODI runs at this ground along with 119 wickets in 82 games here, which is the best at this ground, so he’s worth picking as fantasy captain or vice-captain. Tamim Iqbal is the top scorer at this ground with 5 centuries and 18 fifties in 79 innings here, so he better make your BAN vs SL 1st ODI fantasy team too.

Rubel Hossain will be absent due to a back injury which means the team may bring in Mohammad Saifuddin but I’m looking at picking Taskin Ahmed instead as he’s been among the wickets in recent times. Among the pacers, left-arm bowler Mustafizur Rahman has also been among the wickets in the last few months and is fresh off a stint for Rajasthan Royals in the IPL 2020 season as well.

Sri Lanka

It was back in Jan 2021 that Kusal Perera last played an international game and now, he’s been bumped up as captain of the Sri Lankan side. He’s usually a hit or miss kind of batsman but we think the added responsibility might be good for him, so pick him in your BAN vs SL Dream11 team. In March this year, spinner Akila Dananjaya got a hat-trick against Windies so if he makes the playing eleven, pick him too!

This pitch in Mirpur has always assisted spinners, so make sure you pick Wanindu Hasaranga as well in your PlayerzPot (Code “READ1234“) BAN vs SL fantasy team as he’s got 8 wickets in his last 3 List A games and a score of 80* in the last ODI he played for Sri Lanka. One of the most experienced players in terms of different leagues across the world is Isuru Udana and his style will suit this slow pitch.
