SL VS PAK 2nd T20I, Dream11 Team Prediction for Sri Lanka vs Pakistan T20I Series 2025 Preview: Pakistan have been one of the dominating teams in T20s in the last few years. Salman Ali Agha has led them well, and it was quite visible in the first T20I against Sri Lanka in Dambulla. The Men in Green kicked off their final preparation for the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 with a dominant win. It was not because of an individual performance. They had several contributions with bat and ball, which led them to a win by six wickets.
Shadab Khan, who made his comeback into the team after injury, returned with a Player of the Match performance. He took 2/25 in his four overs. Apart from him, Salman Mirza and Abrar Ahmed took three wickets each. Without Haris Rauf, Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, and Usman Tariq, Pakistan produced a dominating bowling performance. Sri Lanka would be disappointed with their batting display. Seven of their top 8 batters scored in double digits, but none of them could play a long inning.

SL VS PAK Dream11 Team Prediction – Who Will Win?
Pakistan have always been a good bowling unit, and in these conditions, they are pretty strong. Having multiple match-winners with the ball makes them a really strong unit. Pakistan might have a marginally weaker link with the bat, but their bowling unit makes it even. Sri Lanka have struggled against Pakistan in recent times.
Their batting has been an issue while facing a better-ranked team. That is what happened in the first game as well. Until their batters score runs, they will always be under pressure. Then, their bowlers are also not performing as they would have liked. Hence, we believe Pakistan are better suited to win this game.
