SL vs AUS: Sri Lanka vs Australia Dream11 Prediction, Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update for 1st ODI
SL vs AUS Dream11 Prediction: At Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, Sri Lanka will face Australia in the first match of a five-match bilateral ODI series. The Australian team was defeated by Pakistan in their most recent ODI series earlier this year. They would, however, like to use this opportunity to improve their 50-overs performances and standings in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Super League. Players like Marnus Labuschange and Josh Hazlewood will be expected to play a vital role.
Sri Lanka, on the other side, won their most recent ODI series against Zimbabwe and is riding high after defeating Australia in the most recent T20I match. Charith Asalanka and Wanindu Hasaranga will be significant players.

Top Picks- All-Rounders
Wanindu Hasaranga, a skilled spinner and a useful hitter in the lower order, will want to keep his good record in white-ball cricket going. Also he has 29 wickets and 546 runs in 29 One-Day Internationals.
Glenn Maxwell, one of the best attackers in the game, can also contribute off the ball. He has 3230 runs and 51 wickets in 116 One-Day Internationals.
Top Picks- Bowlers
Josh Hazlewood, the T20I series’ leading wicket-taker, has impressed with his variety and accuracy. Also he has 93 wickets at an economy rate of 4.71 in 56 ODIs.
Pat Cummins, Australia’s talented pacer, has been consistently grabbing wickets and also will be crucial to the team’s success. Cummins has 111 wickets in 69 One-Day Internationals.
Top Picks- Wicket-Keeper
In the T20I series, wicketkeeper Kusal Mendis scored 43 runs in three innings. He has also 2297 runs in 82 One-Day Internationals (ODIs).
Suggested Playing XI No.1 for SL vs AUS Dream11 Fantasy Cricket:
Kusal Mendis, Steve Smith, Pathum Nissanka, David Warner (c), Marnus Labuschagne, Charith Asalanka, Wanindu Hasaranga (vc), Glenn Maxwell, Josh Hazlewood, Pat Cummins, Dushmantha Chameera.

SL vs AUS Risky Captaincy Choices:
Alex Carey, the wicketkeeper-batsman, hasn’t played enough international matches in the lead-up to this series, therefore he’s a dangerous captain choice for your fantasy squad.
Chamika Karunaratne is a valuable player, but his best performances have yet to be seen in the last six months.
Players you should avoid:
The Australian all-rounder Ashton Agar, who only took one wicket in the T20I series, should also be avoided.
