SL vs AUS Dream11 Prediction, Dream11 Playing XI, Today Match 1, Sri Lanka vs Australia ODI series 2025

Dream11 fantasy cricket tips and guide for the 1st ODI of the Sri Lanka vs Australia ODI series 2025, to be played between SL vs AUS in Colombo.

After a one-sided test series, Sri Lanka and Australia will square off in a two-match ODI series, starting on Wednesday. Australia dominated the test series, winning it 2-0.

Now, they will be looking to use these two games for the preparation for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The first ODI is scheduled to take place at R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo, on February 12.

Sri Lanka in ODIs are a strong unit at home, and they beat teams like India and New Zealand last year on spin-friendly pitches. So, they will look to maintain that record here. Australia will have to find the right combination that they can go with in the Champions Trophy, as they have suffered four first-choice exclusions.
