1 Jason Roy, 2 Jonny Bairstow (wk), 3 Joe Root, 4 Eoin Morgan (cap), 5 Sam Billings, 6 Moeen Ali, 7 Sam Curran, 8 Chris Woakes/Tom Curran, 9 David Willey, 10 Adil Rashid, 11 Mark Wood
Jonny Bairstow was in destructive mode the last match scoring 43 of just 21 balls, he will be eyeing a big score tomorrow. Good choice for captaincy
J Root showed his class once again guiding his team home with an unbeaten 79 of 87 balls. He will be a default selection and choice for captaincy.
C Woakes was sensational in the last match picking up 4/18 which included 5 maiden overs. He is in a good rhythm and expect more wickets from him. He can be a good captaincy choice for this match, especially if England bowl first.
D Willey swung the new ball and did well at the death returning with figures of 3/44, he will be a key player in this match.
1 Kusal Perera (cap& wk), 2 Pathum Nissanka, 3 Charith Asalanka, 4 Dhananjaya de Silva, 5 Dasun Shanaka, 6 Wanindu Hasaranga, 7 Dhananjaya Lakshan, 8 Ramesh Mendis, 9 Chamika Karunaratne, 10 Binura Fernando, 11 Dushmantha Chameera
Kusal Perera started the series off with a bang scoring 73 of 81 balls, with no real experience in the batting lineup his role to bat big becomes very crucial.
W Hasaranga batted as high as No 5 in the last match and looked really good, taking it to the spinners scoring 54 of 65 balls, he was also good with his leg-spin ( 7-26-0). Differential captaincy choice
D Chameera has been the find of the tour, he did it in the T20I series and now carrying the form to ODIs, he is looking threatening and will be a great option to have for this match (3/50)
C Karunaratne was very decent in the last match with the ball ( 1/39) and showed some batting skills lower down the order(19 runs), he can be a good wildcard pick for this match.
In ENG vs SL Dream11 match prediction, England looks too strong on paper, especially the batting unit compared to Sri Lanka who depends largely on a few players. Hence England is expected to win this match quite comfortably.
