Pakistan vs Sri Lanka, 1st ODI: Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report, Team and Preview
Preview: International cricket returns to Pakistan as the home side take their first steps under new management against Sri Lanka on Friday. With Misbah ul Haq assuming responsibility as selector and coach, a couple of changes have already been made in the side although the outlook of the side remains largely unchanged. As for the Sri Lankans, an opportunity is presented to fringe players to stake a claim for a place in the squad in the absence of regular players such as Kusal Mendis and Kusal Perera. With Karachi hosting it’s first match since 2009, both teams look to make the first move in this much-awaited series.

While Mohd Amir is another must-have player in the fantasy team, Shadab Khan and Isuru Udana should also pick a wicket or two on Friday to earn a few fantasy points.
