SL vs BAN Dream11 Prediction Today, 1st ODI Match Playing XI, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Team, and Pitch Report

Chandra Moulee Das

Fantasy tips for the 1st ODI between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.

After a hard-fought two-match Test series which Sri Lanka won 1-0, the action now shifts to the ODI leg. Sri Lanka and Bangladesh will lock horns in a three-match 50-overs contest with the first game starting tomorrow (July 2).

The hosts come into the match on a high, having won the recent Test series, with Charith Asalanka leading the side in ODIs. Sri Lanka will look to continue their winning streak in the white-ball format after beating India, West Indies, New Zealand and Australia on home turf in the last year.
