SL vs ENG Dream11 Prediction

The Sri Lanka vs England 2nd T20I at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium is a crucial encounter as the hosts look to bounce back after England took a 1–0 lead in the rain-affected series opener, which was decided by the DLS method. Sri Lanka’s batting struggled in the first game, and captain Dasun Shanaka will expect a stronger performance from key players like Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis and Wanindu Hasaranga to keep the series alive.

The Sri Lanka vs England match preview suggests that the visitors will be high on confidence after disciplined bowling led by Adil Rashid, who is among the best T20 bowlers. The Pallekele pitch is generally balanced, offering decent pace before assisting spinners as the match progresses, while the threat of rain for this clash makes the toss an important factor, as chasing could be preferred.

As per the SL vs ENG Dream11 team prediction, Phil Salt and Sam Curran are the ideal candidates for captaincy, as Salt scored 46 runs in the last game while Curran picked up three wickets and can also contribute fantasy points with the bat.
