ENG vs SL Dream11 Team - 1st ODI 2021 | 29 Jun

What a horrible tour it has been for Sri Lanka so far as they were absolutely thrashed in the 3-match T20I series. They tried batting first, they tried bowling, they tried everything but couldn’t avoid a 0-3 drubbing in the T20 series on this 2021 Sri Lanka tour of England. Now, they’ve got further down in morale as three of their senior players were sent home because of flouting the Covid-19 and bio-bubble protocols.

Now, world champions England will be looking for some easy Super League points against the visitors with the 1st ODI taking place at Chester-le-Street. Sri Lanka will keep in mind their last 2 ODIs against this team where they ended victorious and hope against hopes to repeat that here today. Keep reading for our complete BatBall11 (Code “READ123“) fantasy preview of the ENG vs SL 1st ODI …

Stats that matter

Last 5 games head to head, England leads 3-2.
Sri Lanka – won 3 of their 4 ODIs at this ground.
Jonny Bairstow – 268 runs in 3 matches here.

England

While he’s great at his captaincy, Eoin Morgan has gone months now without any 50+ scores across tournaments and formats. On the other hand, Jonny Bairstow was scoring runs all across the park for Yorkshire and he’s also the highest scorer in ODIs here, so should make your ENG vs SL 1st ODI fantasy team. Batting in the middle order, this is a much needed chance for someone like Sam Billings, so we’re picking him too.

After a brilliant IPL 2021 in India, Moeen Ali will be really high on confidence and we’d really like to have him in our ENG vs SL 1st ODI Dream11 team and we wouldn’t even mind picking him as fantasy captain or vice-captain. Sam Curran is another captain or vice-captain option while with the ball, we think Mark Wood will be a good pick, given he’s had 5 wickets in 5 games here and did well in the T20s too.

Sri Lanka

With Avishka Fernando’s quadriceps injury, we’re likely to see Pathum Nissanka get a chance and he may even open the batting. He’s one of the better upcoming batters in the country and we wouldn’t recommend leaving him out of your BatBall11 (Code “READ123“) ENG vs SL fantasy team. Dushmantha Chameera has the pace that suits such pitches and he was one of their only shining stars in the T20 series too.

Wanindu Hasaranga is usually one of my first picks when Sri Lanka plays but his spin isn’t as effective here as it is at home which means I’d rather pick Dhananjaya de Silva as my primary all-rounder from this Sri Lankan side. Former T20 captain Dasun Shanaka is someone who hasn’t been bowling much but he’s also a big hitter of the ball, which you may see if Sri Lanka lasts the 40-45 over mark in this 1st ODI.
