SL vs ZIM Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing 11, Injury Updates & Pitch Report For 1st T20I

On Sunday, January 14, at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe SL vs ZIM will play the first Twenty20 International of the three-match series. In three Twenty20 International matches, these two teams faced off, with Sri Lanka winning each time.

In the T20I series, Sri Lanka will be led by Wanindu Hasaranga, their new captain. The great spinner, who stunned everyone with his stunning return in the most recent ODI against Zimbabwe, hammered the opposition with seven wickets. In the three-match series, there will be high expectations for the spinner.

For the first time since 2021, spinner Akila Dananjaya and all-rounder Angelo Mathews are playing in the game’s shortest format. When Pathum Nissanka has suspected dengue, Lankans are likely to miss it. With so many talented players in the roster, it would be intriguing to watch how they choose their starting eleven.

In the meanwhile, Sikandar Raza, Zimbabwe’s talented all-around player, will be in charge. In the T20I series, Brian Bennett, Carl Mumba, and Ainsley Ndlovu will play, however Tapiwa Mufudza, Faraz Akram, and Takudzwanashe Kaitano will not.

In their previous five Twenty20 Internationals, Zimbabwe had three victories. They did lose to Ireland twice in a row in December 2023, though, going into this series. It would be an entertaining series to follow with Ryan Burl, Craig Ervine, and Raza in the batting order.
