SL Playing 11 ODI World Cup 2023 Sri Lanka Team Players List, Fantasy Cricket Tips

SL Playing XI – Sri Lanka will begin their World Cup 2023 campaign on 7 October as they square off against South Africa in their first match. The Islanders defied the odds by reaching the recently concluded Asia Cup 2023 final after defeating Pakistan in the Super Four fixture. However, they were beaten badly by India in the final as they were bundled out for just 50 runs while batting first.

Sri Lanka are bolstered by the return of their two quicks but their premium leg-spinner Wanindu Hasaranga will miss the mega event. However, while no one is expecting Sri Lanka to qualify for the semifinals, they could play a pivotal role in the race to the knockouts.

Sri Lanka qualified for the ICC World Cup 2023 by winning the qualifying tournament and they would now look to maximize this opportunity of playing at the grandest stage. Sri Lanka could adapt to the Indian conditions better than the other teams and their spinners could trouble the opposition. Meanwhile, they also have the capacity to stun the major sides, making them a team to watch out for.
