ZIM vs SL Dream11 Prediction Today – Fantasy Tips, Best Picks & Playing 11 For 1st T20I
Hello and welcome to the Dream11 prediction and fantasy preview for the 1st T20I between Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka, part of the Sri Lanka tour of Zimbabwe 2025. This match will be played at the Harare Sports Club in Harare.
After a dominant performance in the ODI series, where Sri Lanka secured a clean sweep, they’ll now look to carry that momentum into the T20I format.
Zimbabwe, meanwhile, will be hoping to bounce back and put up a stronger fight in the shortest format of the game.
However, Zimbabwe’s T20I record against Sri Lanka hasn’t been great. Out of six meetings between the two sides in this format, Zimbabwe have managed to win just one game.
That makes this series another tough challenge for the home team, but they’ll be aiming to break the pattern and start fresh.
