SL vs NZ Dream11 Prediction, Dream11 Playing XI, Today Match 1, Sri Lanka vs New Zealand ODI series 2024

Dream11 fantasy cricket tips and guide for the 1st ODI of the Sri Lanka vs New Zealand ODI series 2024, to be played between SL vs NZ in Dambulla.

New Zealand had an incredible performance in the second T20I and defended their lowest T20I total of 108. That was a confidence-booster win for them, as the two-match series ended 1-1.

After completion of the T20I series, now both of the sides will play a three-match ODI series. The first ODI between the two teams will take place on November 13 (Wednesday) at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium. It is expected to be another low-scoring thriller.

Lockie Ferguson and Wanindu Hasaranga, who were stars for their respective teams in the T20I series, will not be part of the ODI series due to injuries. The spinners dominated the T20I series, and it is expected to be the same track for the ODI match.

SL vs NZ: Dream11 Prediction – Who Will Win?

New Zealand edged past Sri Lanka in the second game, which helped them to draw the T20I series. But in ODIs, the things will be totally different. New Zealand still have an inexperienced side for ODIs, and Sri Lanka at home are doing well. Hence, we back the hosts to win.
