IND vs SL Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips and Playing 11 Updates for 1st ODI

The first One Day International (ODI) between India and Sri Lanka will take place on July 18, 2021, at the R Premadasa International Cricket Stadium, Colombo. The game will kickstart from 3:00 PM local time – 3:00 PM (IST) onwards and will be streamed live on Sony Sports Network and Sony Liv.

The Indian team lacks the services of some of their top players including the likes of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah. However, experienced players such as Shikhar Dhawan, Hardik Pandya and Bhuvneshwar are present in the side to provide the much-need steadiness.

On the other hand, things don’t look good for Sri Lanka as they are coming from a shameful defeat recently against England. Moreover, some of their players were suspended due to interdisciplinary issues and are set to miss this series. In addition, their crucial player Kusal Perera has also pulled out from the ODIs which further dents the fortunes of the hosting nation.

Let’s look at our fantasy 11 predictions for this clash and here are the top picks for IND vs SL.
