SL vs ZIM Dream11 Prediction Today, T20I Tri-series, 2nd Match: Fantasy Cricket Tips, Team, Playing XI, and Pitch Report

The second match of the T20I Tri-series is set to witness Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe taking on each other. Here is our SL vs ZIM Dream11 Prediction for this game at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. 

Sri Lanka haven’t played any T20 cricket since the Asia Cup, where they failed to reach the final after losing all three games in Super 4. They will be led by Dasun Shanaka in this series. 

Zimbabwe faced a five-wicket defeat in their first game of this tri-series versus Pakistan. Brian Bennett hit 49 off 36 at the top, while Sikandar Raza made 34 off 24, but a collapse meant they could get only 147. Brad Evans took two for 26, but it wasn’t enough.

SL vs ZIM: Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The pitches in Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium are generally flatter, but plenty of cricket has been played here in recent times. So expect the pitch to get tougher to bat on with the softer ball. The average first innings score here in T20Is reads 153 and 194 in domestic cricket. 

The weather should be hazy during the match time with no threat of rain.
