SL vs BAN Dream11 Team - 1st Test 2021 | 21 Apr

It’s the 2021 Bangladesh tour of Sri Lanka and these two friendly foes will only play 2 Test matches on this tour at the same ground in Pallekele. The two games will take place between 21 Apr – 3 May 2021 and it’s honestly going to be very tough to get past Sri Lanka as they’ve usually been really good in the longest form and even more so when they’re playing in home conditions.

We can expect spinners to do well, so pack your fantasy teams with a lot of spinners and luckily for the visitors Bangladesh, they also have some of the best spinners that they can deploy here which means it’s all going to boil down to which team puts up the better batting performance in these 2 games.

Numbers

Head to head in last 5 games, Sri Lanka leads 2-1.
Sri Lanka – won only 1 of their 7 Tests at this ground.
Last 3 Tests here – all won by the side batting first.
Mehidy Hasan Miraz – wicketless in last 3 ODIs.

Sri Lanka

With 3 fifties in his last 4 Test innings where he got a lowest score of 39, Lahiru Thirimanne has been in brilliant form and he’s one of the first I’m picking up in my SL vs BAN Dream11 team for this 1st Test game. Another batter who is likely to get another chance in the longest format is Pathum Nissanka who scored a Test century on his international debut against West Indies and is likely to contribute here too.

One of Sri Lanka’s most consistent pacers in the longest format over the years is Suranga Lakmal and he should be in your SL vs BAN fantasy team too. He picked 11 wickets in 2 Tests against West Indies, with a 5-fer among them as well. If there’s another bowling slot available, Lahiru Kumara is one who can fit the slot but he hasn’t been fit to play in their recent Tests and we should wait on the team combination before picking him.

Bangladesh

The 22-year old Najmul Hossain Shanto managed only 40 runs in 4 innings in the recent Test series against New Zealand but he’s often been spoken about as the next big talent in the country so if he’s picked again, he should make your SL vs BAN fantasy team too. In the last one month, Saif Hassan has got one century in List A and one in FC cricket as well. He’s in good form but we’re unsure of him making the eleven.

He didn’t get a single wicket and scored only 1 run in his last 3 ODI games but Mehidy Hasan Miraz comes into his own in the longest format, picking 10 wickets in his last 2 Tests, so can make your PlayerzPot (Use Code “READ1234“) SL vs BAN fantasy team maybe even as fantasy captain or vice-captain. Taijul Islam picked 12 scalps in those same 2 Tests against Windies and he could be another spin option for you.
