Sri Lanka vs Zimbabwe Team News
Sri Lanka enters the fixture with a perfect record in the tournament so far, benefitting from clinical performances by opener Pathum Nissanka and a disciplined spin attack. Playing in front of a home crowd in Colombo, the Lions are favourites to clinch the top seed, which would potentially grant them a more favourable schedule in the upcoming Super 8 round.
Zimbabwe, however, have been the tournament’s giant-killers after recording a historic victory over Australia earlier in the group stage. Led by the evergreen Sikandar Raza and the emerging Brian Bennett, the Chevrons have displayed a fearless brand of cricket that makes them a dangerous prospect for the hosts.
