ZIM vs SL Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview: SL TRI-SERIES| Will Sri Lanka stay unbeaten?

By Omkar91

Welcome to our Preview for ZIM vs SL, the 2nd match in the ODI Tri-series that involves Bangladesh, Zimbabwe & Sri Lanka. This match will be played at the Shere Bangla Stadium, Mirpur, Bangladesh – same place as that of the first match. This is our prediction of Dream11 Team and probable playing XI for ZIM vs SL.

Zimbabwe had a disastrous first match against the Hosts. They could never recover from the horrible start of 2/2. Bangla bowlers kept a tight lid and restricted Zimbabweans to only 170. Zimbabwean bowlers looked hapless against Tamim Iqbal who was eager to make a statement. It will be a test for them to better their performance against SL.

As Russell Arnold likes to see it Sri Lanka is still unbeaten in 2018, well this first match will decide if it stays true or not. 2017 was one of the worst years for Sri Lanka in ODIs, winning this tri-series will soothe the pain of those heavy losses suffered.
