SL vs BAN 1st Test Dream11 Prediction: After drawing the last test series in West Indies Sri Lanka would be playing Bangladesh. While Bangladesh lost their last Test Series against West Indies after a tough Fight Back.
SriLanka might go with three specialist Seamers at home since Lasith Embuldeniya ruled out of the series due to an injury. While Bangladesh would be missing Shakib Al Hasan, as he is part of KKR in the IPL.
“Technically, he’s outstanding. Physically, he’s very good and his fielding standards are exactly where they need to be. He’s slotted in nicely. Yes, we’ve had to chip away and polish a little bit, but whatever Nissanka did with his coaches through the ranks has been pretty good. They’ve prepared him very well for international cricket.” said Micky Arthur on Young Pathum Nissanka.

The hosts Sri Lanka had a contrasting experience in their last Test series as they were able to achieve a 0-0 draw against hosts West Indies. This, coming after their terrible loss to England earlier, was a big boost to the morale.
Pitch Update :
The photograph of Karunaratne inspecting a greenish Pallekele pitch two days before the first Test left many wondering if seam, swing, and bounce could play a part on the first morning. Though it has rained around the Pallekele area, the weather is likely to be clear over the next five days.
