SL vs ENG Dream11 Prediction Today 1st ODI: Fantasy Cricket Tips, Captain & Vice-Captain Choices, Playing XI – England tour of Sri Lanka 2026:

SL VS ENG 1st ODI, Dream11 Team Prediction for Sri Lanka vs England ODI Series 2026 Preview: England have reached Sri Lanka, where they will play three ODIs and three T20Is. This tour will be ideal for both teams to prepare for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2026, which is just two weeks away from now. The tour will begin with the T20I series. These two teams are set to take on each other in the first T20I on Thursday at R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo at 2:30 PM IST. Harry Brook will be leading the tourists. 

The surface here will be totally different from the English pitches. So, it will be a good test for the English team, which have all of their big names coming back. In the spin department, they have Adil Rashid and some all-rounders. Their pace bowling is looking a bit inexperienced. Sri Lanka have also picked up a good squad, and they will be keen to beat England and earn the confidence. Both teams played their last ODI back in November, and it will be a good challenge for both sides.

SL VS ENG Dream11 Team Prediction – Who Will Win? 

Both teams will bet on different strategies. The bowling unit for England has been their weaker point in last few years. Especially in the white-ball format, they have not had a consistent bowling unit. Injuries and form are some key reasons behind that. Secondly, England’s technique will be tested on these pitches in Sri Lanka. 

Though they have an excellent batting unit, most of these players are coming off facing hammering in Australia and aren’t in good form. But the change of format might bring freshness into them. Sri Lanka look tentative with the bat and will more rely on their spinners. But if we look at the overall combination of two sides, England look marginally ahead because of their batting unit.
