IND vs SL Dream11 Prediction: Fantasy Cricket Tips, Today's Playing 11 and Pitch Report for 1st T20

The first T20I between India (IND) and Sri Lanka (SL) is set to take place at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Sunday.

After a brilliant start to the tour, India succumbed to a tough loss in the third and final ODI. But with a change in format, India will be eyeing a return to winning ways. The likes of Suryakumar Yadav and Bhuvneshwar Kumar will be looking to seal their spot in the side with the T20 World Cup on the horizon.

Their opponents, Sri Lanka, will bank on their newfound momentum to continue their winning run. They possess an explosive batting unit with Avishka Fernando and Bhanuka Rajapaksa in fine form. However, they will need their bowlers to come up with the goods yet again if they are to clinch another win in what promises to be a cracking game on Sunday.

Pitch Report

As the ODI series progressed, the pitch got slower, which might be the case in the upcoming first T20I as well. The batsmen will look to maximize the powerplay conditions, with run-scoring being relatively easier against the new ball. However, spinners should get ample turn in the middle overs to make for an even contest between the bat and ball. Both teams will look to chase upon winning the toss, with 160 being a par score at the venue.
