SL VS ZIM Match 38, Dream11 Team Prediction for ICC T20 World Cup 2026 Preview: Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe have made it to the Super 8 from Group B, and the 2021 champion, Australia, have been eliminated, which has been the biggest surprise of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026. Now, the two qualified teams will be facing each other in their last group game. This will be an excellent opportunity for them to get ready for the biggest challenge lying ahead in the Super 8 and head into the next round with some confidence.
This game will be played at R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Thursday at 3 PM IST. These two sides have been undefeated so far. Sri Lanka are coming off a spectacular win over Australia, where Pathum Nissanka slammed his second T20I hundred and took his team to a comfortable win. Zimbabwe’s last game against Ireland was washed out, and both teams shared one point each, which helped Zimbabwe to qualify for the next round. But Sikandar Raza and co. will be eager to get on the field and keep their form and momentum to do well and earn more confidence.

SL VS ZIM Dream11 Team Prediction – Who Will Win?
Both teams have done well in this tournament so far, and we can expect a tight game. Without a doubt, Sri Lanka know these conditions better than anyone else, and they have planned well so far. So, it should not be hard for them. They have a great squad, and their batters have started clicking.
The form of Nissanka is very important because he is a free-flowing batter who takes the game away. The middle order has also started doing well. For Zimbabwe, the form of their fast bowlers has been incredible. They are hitting the length hard and bouncing out the opposition. So, they will trouble these Sri Lankan batters. That is why fans will expect a tight contest here. But overall, Sri Lanka hold an edge of combination, home conditions, and form. Hence, they will start this game as favorites.
