SL-ET vs BD-ET Dream11 : Sri Lanka Emerging Team look to seal the three match series today after walking all over Bangladesh in the opener
Advertisement
Ever since Sri Lanka Emerging Team had emerged champions from their visit of South Africa, the credentials of this side were hammered down with certainty. And they headed into the ongoing three match series against Bangladesh Emerging Team carrying the status of firm favourites, a side who were heavily touted to clean out their opposition.
It’s a narrative which Sri Lanka stayed true to in the series opener, routing Bangladesh by 186 runs, a rousing performance the side will be looking to emulate today as well as they look to seal the series in their favour. Putting on a colossal 304 while batting first, the bowling performance was just as pulsating as the batting display by the outfit.

They ripped apart Bangladesh, wiping them out for 118 runs to a comprehensive 1-0 lead in the series. The second ODI set to be played today promises to be a similarly one-sided affair, one where Sri Lanka should exert their might yet again and fulfil their aspirations of winning this series with Bangladesh set to be dominated for the second straight encounter.
Pitch Conditions And Toss
A solid batting track, expect this surface to play in the same manner today when these two sides square off against each other. There is purchase for the spinners in the second part of the match but nothing too much to deter batsmen for going on and piling the big runs. The side winning the toss here will be looking to step out and bat first.

SL-ET vs BD-ET Dream11 Wicket-Keeper
Having scored 73 runs in 3 matches preceding the series opener, Sandun Weerakkody came up with more good runs in the first encounter which sees him come into our side. Along with his performance with the bat, the likelihood of Bangladesh being bundled out today is very realistic, one which will see him be heavily involved with catches and stumpings.
SL-ET vs BD-ET Dream11 Batsmen
Scoring a half-century in an innings that folded out for a tepid 118, Saif Hassan from Bangladesh is our only pick from the side in this facet.
Elsewhere from Sri Lanka we have opted for both Shammu Aslan and Ashen Bandara. Although the two didn’t score too big in the previous encounter, the lacklustre form of Bangladesh’s bowling unit and the paper thin nature of their setup will allow Sri Lanka to pile on the runs in this encounter as well.
SL-ET vs BD-ET Dream11 All-Rounders
With 71 runs in the first match of the series, Charith Asalanka comes into our side from Sri Lanka. He and Wanindu Hasaranga ended up cleaning out Bangladesh with Charith scoring 70 runs, one that saw him get the boundaries at will.
Along with his batting display, he ended up taking four wickets with the ball as well with us legspin unanswerable by Bangladesh’s right handed heavy batting unit. The ball going away left them in tatters, leaving them flummoxed on how to square off against him and he could come up with wickets today as well.
SL-ET vs BD-ET Dream11 Bowling Order
With four wickets in between them, the two for either player, we have brought in both Shiran Fernando and Amila Aponso from Sri Lanka. Elsewhere despite Sri Lanka scoring massively in the previous fixture, the side are bound to lose wickets, especially in the death overs as they look to up the ante.
This sees us pick up the two bowlers from Bangladesh as well with Shahidul Islam and Shafiqul Islam both coming into our Dream 11 side for the day.
SL-ET vs BD-ET Dream11 Captain And Vice-Captain
Hasaranga is our captain for today while Asalanka is selected as the vice-captain.
