SL vs ZIM Dream11 Prediction

In the match 38 of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026, Sri Lanka will face Zimbabwe in a crucial Group B encounter. The match will be played at the R. Premadasa Stadium on Thursday. Both Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe have showcased excellent form in the tournament and have qualified for the Super 8 stage.

Zimbabwe’s last match against Ireland was abandoned due to rain, and they currently hold second spot in the points table. On the other hand, Sri Lanka continued their dominance in their last match against Australia. Bowling first, they restricted Australia to a below-par total of 181 runs and then comfortably chased down the target with two overs to spare.

Sri Lanka opener Pathum Nissanka is one of the best batsmen in the world who consistently performs at the top of the order. He scored a memorable century in the last match against Australia. Meanwhile, wicketkeeper-batter Kusal Mendis is the leading run-scorer for Sri Lanka in the tournament with 168 runs in three matches. For the SL vs ZIM Dream11 team prediction, both these Sri Lankan players can be the captaincy picks.

SL vs ZIM Toss Prediction

The rain is in the forecast, so the toss-winning captain is likely to choose to bowl first. Overcast skies will favour bowlers, and if DLS method comes into play, chasing becomes easier. As a result, it is most likely that Sri Lanka captain Dasun Shanaka will opt to bowl first after winning the toss, as per the SL vs ZIM Dream11 prediction today match.
