SL vs ENG 2nd ODI Dream11 Team Prediction and probable XI: Preview

Hello and Welcome to our preview for Sri Lanka vs England 2nd ODI match. We are covering SL vs ENG 2nd ODI Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview and Probable Playing XI for the second ODI match. The match is to be played at Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium, Dambulla.

This is not a great time to play cricket in Sri Lanka as the rain is always around the corner. First ODI played on the same ground lasted only 15 overs after which the rain washed out any possibilities of a further play. The latest pictures of the ground show that it is ready to host the second match but the weather forecast is not in favor of cricket. However, there is a provision of a reserve day for this match.

Sri Lanka won the toss in the first match and asked England to bat first. The visitors had a good start as their top three Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root each crossed the mark of 20 runs. England’s innings was stopped with the score of 92/2 and only 15 overs were bowled.

In the short span, Sri Lanka tried three bowlers. Lasith Malinga proved expensive and went for 37 runs in his five overs which also included two no-balls. Nuwan Pradeep and Akila Dananjaya picked up a wicket each before the game was washed out.
