ENG vs SL Dream11 Team - 1st T20I 2021 | 23 Jun

There’s so much of cricket taking place in England right now with the WTC Final 2021, the India W tour of England as well as the Vitality Blast T20. We have the 2021 Sri Lanka tour of England where the visitors will play a T20 tour match against Sussex, 3 T20Is and 3 ODIs between 23 June and 4 July 2021. It’s a tough tour for Sri Lanka who haven’t been at their best in recent months, and playing away will be a challenge as well.

They’re taking on England who has been actively playing a lot of cricket and recently finished a home series against New Zealand as well. The tour begins with the 1st T20I at Sophia Gardens in Cardiff and we expect a cracking start to the tour. These two haven’t played each other in T20Is in a couple of years, so it’ll be a refreshing battle. Keep reading for our complete BatBall11 (Code “READ123“) fantasy preview of the ENG vs SL 1st T20I…

Stats that matter

Last 5 games head to head, England leads 4-1.
112, 82, 67, 34 – Jonny Bairstow’s last 4 scores in T20 Blast.

England

We’re not sure of whether he’ll open or bat in the middle order but Jonny Bairstow has been brilliant with the bat for Yorkshire in the ongoing Vitality T20 Blast with 295 runs in 4 games and a strike rate of 175+, so he should make your ENG vs SL fantasy team for the 1st T20I. Returning to the English squad is Moeen Ali who had a brilliant IPL 2021 and has 4 wickets in 4 games in the T20 Blast, along with a top score of 52 with the bat.

With 41 runs in 4 games this season so far, Dawid Malan has not been great for Yorkshire but he usually ups his game at the international level, spending the most of last year at the #1 spot on the ICC T20I rankings. He has 2 fifties in his last 3 international games and should make your ENG vs SL 1st T20 Dream11 team. Sam Curran has blossomed as a cricketer over the last 12-18 months and he’s a good option for fantasy captain or vice-captain today.

Sri Lanka

Leading the side is wicket-keeper batsman Kusal Perera and while he is a more of a hit or miss batsman, he’s not got a single digit score in any of his last 5 games and had 120 in his last ODI for Sri Lanka, so should be in your BatBall11 (Code “READ123“) ENG vs SL fantasy team. Like him, Danushka Gunathilaka has only 1 single digit score in his last 10 outings and if spin is on offer, he’s likely to bowl as well.

While he’s more known for his bowling, Wanindu Hasaranga scored 74 in and ODI recently for Sri Lanka. The spinner has been creating a name for himself over the last year or more and is a worthy pick given his recent wicket-taking abilities. Isuru Udana is one of their better T20 bowlers because of his many variations. He has 7 wickets in his last 5 outings and his experience in various T20 leagues will help for sure.
