SL vs BAN 1st T20I, Dream11 Prediction: Sri Lanka won the third and final ODI to bag yet another home series as they beat Bangladesh 2-1. Now these two sides will be locking horns in T20Is. The first game will kick off at 7 PM IST on Thursday, taking place at Pallekele International Stadium.
This tour has been a disappointment for Bangladesh. Can captain Litton Das take them to some success? Sri Lanka have been hit hard with the injury to Wanindu Hasaranga, who played well in ODIs. They need some good support from their players. Both teams will welcome T20I specialists for this series.

SL vs BAN: Ground Pitch Report
Pallekele International Cricket Stadium is a good batting surface. Batters will have shorter boundaries to exploit. But spinners will be hard to hit because of the slowness of the surface. Hence, batting first will be a good choice.
