This is a do-or-die match for the Men in Green. After their loss to England and a washout against New Zealand, they only have 1 point. On the other hand, Sri Lanka are already eliminated after losing to both England and New Zealand. However, they would want to finish the tournament with a win in front of their home fans in Kandy.
The pitch in Pallekele usually helps spinners, so bowlers like Shadab Khan and Maheesh Theekshana will be very important. It is going to be a high-pressure game for both sides, who haven't been at their best lately.
Sahibzada Farhan is the highest run-getter in this edition of ICC T20 World Cup so far, while Maheesh Theekshana has impressed all with his spin bowling. Based on their recent performances, they are the top captaincy picks for the SL vs PAK Dream11 team prediction.

SL vs PAK Toss Prediction
The pitch at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, one of the best cricket stadiums in the world, is usually good for batting at the start, but it gets slower as the match progresses. Spinners are expected to get a lot of help in the second half.
The dew factor will also be important in this match. According to the SL vs PAK Dream11 prediction today match, we predict Dasun Shanaka to win the toss and bowl first in order to avoid bowling with a wet ball later.
