SL vs Zim Dream11 Prediction : The stakes are high for the T20 World Cup. This might just look like a Warm-Up game but there is a lot to introspect for the teams participating in the marquee event. Sri Lanka would be high on confidence after that magnificent victory during the Asia Cup. They have proven it in the subcontinent and now it will be the time to prove themselves at the World Stage. It is a pity that Sri Lanka, the Asian Champions would have to prove themselves in the Qualifiers to get themselves to Group Stage. On the other hand, Zimbabwe would be looking to find the right combination before the Qualifiers in order to feel confident about their chances to qualify for the Group Stage.

Watch SL vs ZIM Live on Star Sports Network. Online streaming will be available on the Disney + Hotstar app.
Australia (154/6 in 20 overs) lost to Sri Lanka (155/5 in 19.5 overs) by 5 wickets.
The Melbourne Cricket Ground is a typical hard Aussie wicket which has some genuine pace and bounce for the fast bowlers. The batters should get the value for their shots and would like to make most of the run scoring opportunities they get. The match is expected to go ahead as per schedule as there is no chance of rainfall. 66.7% of the matches are won by the team batting second.

Sri Lanka would be pumped up going into the World Cup after winning the Asia Cup. Dasun Shanaka has led by example, providing the much needed impetus with the bat and ball. He has been influential in his contributions towards the team. Pathum Nissanka is a player to watch out for and has showed immense promise with the bat during his recent performances in the Asia Cup. He is placed eight in the list of top T20I batters in the World and will look to continue his great run.
Dasun Shanaka is the designated finisher and all rounder of this Sri Lankan Cricket Team. He has been quintessential with his contributions for his team and would look forward to get the cup back home.
Pathum Nissanka is an explosive opening option for Sri Lanka and more often than not gets them off to a flyer. He shall be a vital cog for the Lankans if they are to qualify for the knockout stage of the World Cup.
Zimbabwe are a team which should not be taken lightly and would look to make a mark in the shortest format of the game. On their day, they can be a serious threat to the best of oppositions and can be party spoilers for the big teams. They managed to beat the Bangladeshis in the last T20I series, 2-1 which is an epitome of their ability.
If Zimbabwe pose any kind of a threat to the opposition he will have to play a big role in guiding the team towards victory. His all round ability is not hidden from the world. He can bat deep and help his team chase steep totals and at the same time he can chip in with some off spin as well.
Sean Williams is a veteran all rounder and has been in the scheme of things for Zimbabwe for quite some time now. The veteran all rounder is an impact player and would look to show that in the Warm-Up stages to get some form.
