Welcome to ENG vs SL Dream11 Prediction for Today’s Match Fantasy Cricket. England will take on Sri Lanka in Match 2 of the England vs Sri Lanka T20 on Thursday 24th June at the Sophia Gardens, Cardiff. Keep reading to find out about the England vs Sri Lanka T20 Match 2 ENG vs SL Dream11 team today.
After an easy win in the first contest, England will take on Sri Lanka once again at Sofia Gardens today. England began their white-ball summer with a massive win over Sri Lanka on Wednesday.
The visitors opted to bat first and that decision didn’t go well as they lost Fernando for a duck. Gunathilaka and Perera tried to revamp the innings by adding a brisk partnership but England bowlers ran through the middle order. However, Shanaka had managed to carry his form from LPL to score a much-needed fifty.
Chasing 130 to win, England batted as if they were batting on different surface and ended up winning the match by eight wickets. The openers Roy and Buttler added 80 runs for the first wicket. Roy was first to go and Malan followed him as well. However, Bairstow and Buttler made sure to take the team home safe.

Pitch Report
Going by what we have seen in the first match, Sofia Gardens will provide support to the batters as well as the pacers. The latter will dominate the initial session and if the batters can survive that, it gets easier to score runs. The average first innings score at this venue is 161 and most of the teams have won while chasing.
Weather Report
According to the forecast, we will have a visitor at Sophia Gardens on Thursday. There will be light showers which could halt the match for a while but isn’t as effective as what we have seen at Southampton recently. The D/L method might come into the game today. There is a 60 per cent chance for the rain and the temperature will be around 14 degrees Celcius.

ENG vs SL Dream11 Match Prediction Choice For Captain And Vice-Captain
Jos Buttler batted well in the last contest and is likely to continue his solid form here as well. In the last match, he ended up scoring an unbeaten 68 from 55 deliveries. The knock had eight fours and a six to his name.
Jonny Bairstow recently smashed a ton for his domestic team in the Vitality Blast. He is recovering from injury but still is a vital option for England. In the last match, he batted in the middle order and scored an unbeaten 13.
Jason Roy will look to convert his starts to big score here. The last match wasn’t the only occasion where he had got out after getting a start. In his last five innings, he has three 30-plus scores but couldn’t make it to a fifty.
Kusal Perera began well in the last contest but couldn’t make it to a big score. He played the perfect innings to steady the ship but before he could get going, he got out for 30. However, he is in good form at the moment and in the last ODI against Bangladesh, he smashed 120.
