SL vs PAK Dream11 Prediction: Sri Lanka are in a respectable position with respect to the World test championship table. They defeated the table toppers Australia by an innings in the 2nd test after losing the first test pretty badly. Pakistan would be desperate for a series win as well as they are at the back of a series loss against Australia at their home.

Last result at the venue: Sri Lanka beat Australia by an innings and 39 runs
There will be a lot of help for the spinners from day 1. Anything around 400 should be a safe total for the team batting first.

Babar Azam is one of the best batsmen going around in world cricket. He loves playing in Asian conditions and his records against Sri Lanka is staggering as well.
Time is running out for Fawad Alam as he endured a poor series against Australia in Pakistan. He has a point to prove in this series. He has solid record against Sri Lanka.
