ENG vs SL Betting Tips
England have very strong options across all positions in their ODI side. Opener Jonny Bairstow is an excellent option for leading run scorer for England after scores of 112, 94 and 124 in three of his last four ODI innings. With the ball, Chris Woakes is an excellent choice for leading wicket taker, he has 145 wickets in this format.
Captain Kusal Perera has 104 ODI caps and has made six centuries since making his debut in 2013. He is a good tip for top run scorer for Sri Lanka. Wanindu Hasaranga was very impressive in the recent IT20 series and we expect his spin to cause England problems in this game. He is a good bet for Sri Lanka’s leading wicket taker.
England’s regular wicket-keeper Jos Butller is out of the series through injury and we expect Jonny Bairstow to deputise. Attacking left-hander Niroshan Dickwella will keep wicket for Sri Lanka. We recommend Bairstow as the top wicket-keeper in this opening ODI.

England vs Sri Lanka 1st ODI Prediction & Betting Tips
England and Sri Lanka begin a three match ODI series in Chester-le-Street on Tuesday. England are the current World Cup holders and ranked joint third in the ICC ODI Rankings. Sri Lanka, World Cup winners in 1996, are ranked in ninth place. Read on as we preview this game. This match will get underway at the Emirates Riverside at 11:00 local time.
England are a very strong white ball side in all conditions but never more dangerous than at home. They bat all the way through their order meaning that batsmen are encouraged to attack from ball one. In Adil Rashid, they have one of the best spinners in ODI cricket.
England’s regular wicket-keeper Jos Butller is out of the series through injury and we expect Jonny Bairstow to deputise.

England always prefer to chase in this format whereas Sri Lanka favour batting first. Conditions may dictate other approaches but we would expect both captains to stick to their usual approaches.
ENG vs SL Pitch Report
Mark Wood’s home ground will certainly have some pace in the wicket. However, we also expect the spin bowlers to enjoy the conditions in Durham.
Weather Report
High of 18 degrees without any danger of rain during the match. Thick cloud should clear as the game progresses.
Read on for team previews, betting tips, latest odds, and match prediction for England vs Sri Lanka 1st ODI
Due to injuries, England are without regular ODI players Ben Stokes, Jofra Archer and Jos Buttler. However, they still have many match winners and experienced players to select from. We expect left-arm fast bowler George Garton to get a debut in this match.
ENG Key Players
Jonny Bairstow - irrespective of the format, it always seems that Bairstow has a point to prove when he walks to the wicket. His batting form in ODIs has been very impressive for many years.
Joe Root - England’s Test captain is very important to the ODI side. With stroke makers surrounding him in the XI, Root’s role is to keep the scoreboard ticking over at a healthy rate and bat through the innings.
Adil Rashid - the leg-spinner has been an integral part of England’s white ball sides since 2015. Bowling in tandem with Moeen Ali, expect Rashid’s variations to cause real problems.
ENG Team Form
Since winning the 2019 World Cup, England’s performances in this format have been inconsistent. They have won five and lost five of their last ten matches.
England Predicted Playing 11
Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow (wk), Joe Root, Eoin Morgan, Sam Billings, Moeen Ali, Sam Curran, Chris Woakes, George Garton, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood
ENG vs SL Dream11 Team Prediction, Captain, Vice Captain
Wicket-keeper
Jonny Bairstow (10) and Kusal Perera (9.5) will be our wicket-keepers. Both players bat at the top of the order so have maximum opportunity to score big runs
Batsmen
Joe Root (10), Danushka Gunathilaka (9), Jason Roy (9.5) and Pathum Nissanka (8) are our batsmen. Roy has made starts but will be looking to kick on in this match.
All-rounders
Sam Curran (9) and Wanindu Hasaranga (9) will be our all-rounders. Expect Sam Curran to be very attacking should he get an opportunity with the bat
Bowlers
Adil Rashid (9), Dushmantha Chameera (8.5) and George Garton (8) are our bowlers. Rashid and Chameera are excellent bowlers in this format.
Captain/Vice-captain

Sri Lanka Team News & Playing 11
SL Team News
As with the IT20 series, Sri Lanka have brought a squad with a mix of youth and experience to England. Their batting was the main issue during the IT20 matches and the hope must be that this longer format will allow the players to master the conditions.
SL Key Players
Kusal Perera - Sri Lanka’s captain opens the batting and has a solid record in this format. He scored 120 in his last ODI game, against Bangladesh in Dhaka.
Wanindu Hasaranga - opposition batsmen tend to bat in a risk free manner against Hasaranga. He has 21 wickets from 21 ODIs.
Dushmantha Chameera - the tall fast bowler comes into this series on the back of taking 9 wickets from 3 ODIs against Bangladesh. He recorded his best ODI figures of 5-16 in his last appearance.
SL Team Form
Although Sri Lanka won their last ODI game, they lost their previous five matches. They are a work in progress in all formats.
We are backing Jonny Bairstow, Jason Roy and Joe Root for England in this match. Bairstow has been in excellent form in ODIs over the last 12 months.
Kusal Perera, Oshada Fernando and Pathum Nissanka are the Sri Lanka batsmen we are backing. Perera has a big job on his hands but must produce with the bat.
Adil Rashid, Chris Woakes and Mark Wood are the key bowlers for England. Woakes will be particularly important in the opening overs of the Sri Lanka innings.
For Sri Lanka we have backing Wanidu Hasaranga, Dushmantha Chameera and Binura Fernando. Chameera enjoys this format and produced career best figures in his last ODI
Sri Lanka were no match for England in the recent IT20 series and may well struggle to also compete with the 2019 World Cup Winners in this series. We are predicting an England win in the opening ODI.
