SL vs BAN Dream11 Prediction, Best Dream11 Playing XI, Today Match 1st T20I, Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh T20I series 2025

Dream11 fantasy XI tips and guide for 1st T20I of the Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh T20I series 2025 between SL vs BAN to be played in Pallekele.

After winning the test series, Sri Lanka have also won the ODI series against Bangladesh. Now it’s time for the shortest format of the game, where both the teams will face each other in three T20Is.

This will begin with the first game on Thursday (July 10) at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, Pallekele. Litton Das will lead the visitors, who himself is struggling with the form.

Bangladesh have been poor with the bat in this tour overall. On the other hand, Sri Lanka suffered a setback as star all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga has been ruled out of the T20I series. But they have good players in backup. So, it will be an exciting start to the T20I series.
