IND vs SL 1st ODI Dream11 Prediction: After whitewashing Sri Lanka in the three-match T20I series, India will take on the hosts in a three-match ODI series, starting August 2.
India’s biggest superstars Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will be back in action in the ODI series. This will be their first ODI series since the World Cup 2023 final. This is a crucial series from India’s view as they have only two ODI series, including this one, before the Champions Trophy 2025.
For Sri Lanka, they had a poor start under new captain Charith Asalanka as they were beaten 3-0 in the T20Is, including an embarrassing loss in the third T20I where they failed to chase 30 runs in 30 balls with 9 wickets in hand. The hosts would hope to turn things around in the ODI series.
