ENG vs SL Dream11 Prediction Today Match 42, Super 8: Fantasy Cricket Tips, Captain & Vice-Captain Choices, Playing XI – ICC T20 World Cup 2026

ENG VS SL Match 42, Super 8, Dream11 Team Prediction for ICC T20 World Cup 2026 Preview: Just two and a half weeks back, England and Sri Lanka were up against each other in Sri Lanka, facing each other in the bilateral series. And now, they will be up against each other in the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 in the same playing conditions. The second game of the Super 8 round will be played between England and Sri Lanka.  

These two teams will take on each other at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium on Sunday at 3 PM IST. Both sides won three of the four games they played in their respective groups. England had a shaky start with a close win and a defeat in the first two games. But then, they had two comprehensive wins, which must have given them some sort of confidence. They even beat Sri Lanka 3-0 in the T20I series earlier this month.  

But the wicket will be totally different from what they had in the group stage. Sri Lanka had three great games, including a win over Australia. But they lost their last group games to Zimbabwe and couldn’t defend 179 runs. That exposed the area of concern for them after Matheesha Pathirana was ruled out. They used spinners in the death overs, which didn’t work. That is one area they need to address now.

ENG VS SL Dream11 Team Prediction – Who Will Win? 

England have not been playing their best cricket in the last month or so. The big reason is that pitches here in the subcontinent are rough, and batters need to manufacture their shots against the uneven bounce. That has challenged some of these English batters. Then, the form of Archer, Salt, and Buttler is another issue. 

This trio has yet to deliver their best, but the others have stepped up when needed. Sri Lanka, on the other hand, look good with the bat. But the injuries to Hasaranga and Pathirana have put other bowlers under the scanner. That is where Zimbabwe hit them and won. England are a far superior side and have a better combination overall. That is why they will start this game as favorites over Sri Lanka.
