IND vs SL Dream11 Prediction, 1st T20I: India vs Sri Lanka Fantasy Cricket Tips, Probable Playing XI, Pitch Report, Player Records/Stats, Injury and Match Updates.

IND vs SL: After an exciting T20I series, India and Sri Lanka will now lock horns with each other in the 1st ODI of three-match ODI series of the Sri Lanka tour of India, 2023 on Tuesday, January 10, 2023, at Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati.

India’s regular skipper Rohit Sharma, and senior players like Virat Kohli and KL Rahul will return to action after being rested for the T20I series. Overall, they have got a balanced squad and start as clear favourites heading into the game.

Sri Lanka, on the other hand, must be high on confidence after giving a tough fight to the Men in Blue in the recently concluded T20I series. The Lankan captain Dasun Shanaka looked in great touch in the 20-overs format and he will look to extend his rich vein of form in ODIs.

Apart from Dasun Shanaka, Kusal Mendis, Pathum Nissanka, and Wanindu Hasaranga will hold the impetus for the visitors. Just like India they, too, have a well-balanced side and will be eyeing a win in what promises to be a cracking contest in Guwahati.

Here are the match details, pitch report, probable playing 11, squads, player records/stats and dream11 fantasy team predictions for the 1st ODI of the Sri Lanka tour of India, 2023.
