SL vs IRE Dream11 Prediction: Dream11 Team Today, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report, Injury Update - ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026, Match 6

Sri Lanka, the co-hosts of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, are all set to begin their campaign against Ireland. Despite losing the recent T20I series to England, they cannot be underestimated. They will be playing at home, and all their players must be well familiar with the conditions.

On the other hand, Ireland will be led by the experienced Paul Stirling, one of the best openers in the world. They have arrived here with momentum, having won their last two bilateral series. That confidence will give them belief in breaking the streak against Sri Lanka, a team they have never beaten in T20Is before.

Sri Lankan leg-spinner Wanindu Hasaranga and opening batter Pathum Nissanka are the most ideal picks for the captaincy role in the SL vs IRE Dream11 team prediction. Hasaranga, one of the best T20 bowlers in the world, has an excellent record in this format, having picked up 151 wickets at an economy rate of 7. Meanwhile, Pathum Nissanka looked in outstanding touch in the recent series against England, having scored 80 runs at a strike rate of 148.

According to the R Premadasa Stadium pitch report, the surface is likely to be batting friendly and with some quality batters on both sides, it could be a run fest. The fast bowlers might get some help since it is the beginning of the tournament. According to the SL vs IRE Dream11 prediction today match, the batsmen will have an edge over the bowlers.
