SL VS IRE Match 6, Dream11 Team Prediction for ICC T20 World Cup 2026 Preview: The ICC T20 World Cup 2026 has had a brilliant start with three exciting games on the first day. The thrill will be even more with three more matches scheduled on Sunday. Match no. 6 of the tournament will be played between Ireland and the co-host, Sri Lanka. This contest will start at 7 PM IST on Sunday at R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. This is the first game to be played in Group B of the tournament.
Both sides will start their campaign with this game. There is a little concern over the weather for this game, but all seems well until now. Sri Lanka are coming off a poor home series against England. They failed to convert chances and looked a little short of confidence. They need to produce a better show because if they let the momentum go, Ireland can catch up on that. Ireland have been in serious form in this format. They have an experienced squad and players who have been playing together for a long time. That gives them a good chance to do well here.

SL VS IRE Dream11 Team Prediction – Who Will Win?
Sri Lanka are way more experienced than Ireland in this format and also at this level. Three games have been played between these sides, and Sri Lanka have won all three games. They know what it takes to do on a big stage. Sri Lanka failed to qualify from the group stage last time.
So, they will have something to prove here. The home conditions are in favor, and they have an excellent spin unit for this pitch in Colombo. That is where Ireland might look a little weaker. Because their spinners are more of defensive ones, while Sri Lankan spinners are wicket-takers. That can make a difference on this pitch. Hence, Sri Lanka will start this game as favorites.
