SL vs ZIM Dream11 Prediction
On Saturday, January 6, Sri Lanka is set to face Zimbabwe in the inaugural match of a three-game ODI series at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Following the ODI series, both teams will engage in a three-match T20I series starting on Sunday, January 11.
Sri Lanka’s performance in the last ODI World Cup was less than satisfactory, finishing second to last with only two wins in nine matches. The newly appointed selection committee has implemented significant changes to the squad that participated in the World Cup, with notable exclusions such as Kusal Perera and Dhananjaya de Silva. The inclusion of Wanindu Hasaranga is contingent upon his fitness, as he is currently recovering from hamstring surgery. Kusal Mendis assumes the captaincy role for the first time, with Charith Asalanka appointed as his deputy.
Zimbabwe, coming off a recent three-match ODI series against Ireland, faced a 2-0 defeat. Craig Ervine has returned to the squad and takes on the captaincy role, while the absence of Sean Williams, due to a side injury sustained in the second T20I against Ireland last month, is a setback for the team.
