MATCH: Sri Lanka vs Zimbabwe DATE: Jan 16, 2024TIME: 19:00 IST / 13:30 GMTVENUE: R. Premadasa Stadium – Colombo, Sri Lanka TOURNAMENT: Sri Lanka vs Zimbabwe 2nd T20 2024 Sri Lanka vs Zimbabwe Betting Tips Kusal Mendis has scored over 3450 T20 runs across his career and the 28 year old right-hander is our tip for Sri Lanka’s highest run scorer on Tuesday. Wanindu Hasaranga took 2/19 on Sunday and the captain is well worth backing as Sri Lanka’s top wicket taker on this spinning track in Colombo.It is now five successive half-centuries for Sikandar Raza in T20I cricket and we expect Zimbabwe’s captain to be their highest run scorer in the second game of the series. Richard Ngarava has picked up a wicket in the first over in every game on this tour and the pace bowler is our pick for Zimbabwe’s top wicket taker in this match.Wanindu Hasaranga is enjoying bowling at the RPS and we recommend selecting him to take over 1.5 wickets in this fixture.

SL vs ZIM 2nd T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips Sri Lanka host Zimbabwe at the R Premadasa Stadium once more on Tuesday as the two sides lock horns in the second T20I of the series. The first game provided a very exciting finish with Sri Lanka winning the match by 3 wickets from the final ball of the fixture on Sunday. Read on as we preview this game. The T20I begins in Colombo at 19:00 local time. Sri Lanka may have beaten Zimbabwe in two ODIs and one T20I already this month but two of those games have gone down to the wire. However, their players have far more experience of playing at this venue and we expect them to get another victory in this match. Zimbabwe came very close to getting their first win of this tour on Sunday but losing does become a habit. They have not won any of their last four T20Is away from home and are yet to beat Sri Lanka in this format at any venue. It will be tough to level the series at 1-1 but Zimbabwe do have match-winners in their team. SL vs ZIM Match Toss PredictionAll of the last five T20Is at the RPS have seen the team fielding first win the match. Therefore, we expect to see both sides choosing to field first if they win the toss. SL vs ZIM Pitch ReportIt is a low spinning pitch in Colombo with the RPS wicket seemingly getting slower as this Zimbabwe tour progresses. Any first innings score of 150+ should be enough to win the match. Colombo Weather ReportClear skies are forecast on Tuesday evening in Colombo with the temperature in the mid twenties. There will also be high humidity throughout the match. Read on for team previews, betting tips, latest odds, and match prediction for Sri Lanka vs Zimbabwe 2nd T20 2024

Premadasa Stadium – Colombo, Sri LankaTOURNAMENT: Sri Lanka vs Zimbabwe 1st T20 2024 Sri Lanka vs Zimbabwe Betting Tips Kusal Mendis has hit a double figure score in his last eight T20Is and scored 73 in his last match in this format.

Wanindu Hasaranga has a strike-rate of 15.80 in T20Is and the skipper is our pick for Sri Lanka’s top wicket taker on Sunday.Sikanadar Raza has made 65, 82, 65, 58 and 48 across his last five T20I innings and the skipper is our tip for Zimbabwe’s highest run scorer against Sri Lanka. Richard Ngarava has gone wicketless in only one of the last 18 T20Is and the left-arm pacer is a strong choice for Zimbabwe’s top wicket taker in this opening T20I.Playing at a ground where the spinners always get assistance, we recommend selecting Wanindu Hasaranga to take over 1.5 wickets in this match.

SL vs ZIM 1st T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips After the ODI series finished with Sri Lanka winning 2-0, they will now go head to head in the first of the three-match T20I series against Zimbabwe. Sri Lanka lost their last T20I to New Zealand by 4 wickets last April with Zimbabwe losing to Ireland by 6 wickets in their last game in this format. This series takes place at the R Premadasa Stadium and gets underway on Sunday evening at 19:00 local time. Sri Lanka may not have played in this format for a while but all of their players have featured in various T20 leagues over the last six months. They were too strong in the final ODI and we expect them to come out on top once more in this opening T20I. Zimbabwe lost heavily in the final ODI but will come into this game with a different energy and with a new captain. However, playing against Sri Lanka in Colombo is always very tough irrespective of the opposition and we expect the visitors to struggle once more. SL vs ZIM Match Toss PredictionThe last four and six of the last seven T20Is at this venue have been won by the team fielding first. Therefore, our prediction is that both teams will want to field first ahead of the toss. SL vs ZIM Pitch ReportThe R Premadasa Stadium surface is always one which turns without a huge amount of bounce. And after the ODI series, we can expect no change to the pace in the wicket. Colombo Weather ReportThere is no rain forecast for Colombo on Sunday evening. It will be hot throughout this game with the temperature in the high 20s.

The skipper is a strong choice for Afghanistan’s highest run scorer in this match. Mujeeb Ur Rahman took 2/21 and bowled a maiden in the opening T20I.

The return of Virat Kohli to their line-up will only make their batting stronger for this second match. Although they were comfortably beaten on Thursday, Afghanistan can certainly take some positives from some of the batting partnerships and the spin bowling of Mujeeb. However, they will need the entire team to step up a level or two to really compete on Sunday.

MATCH: Sri Lanka vs Zimbabwe DATE: Jan 08, 2024TIME: 14:30 IST / 9:00 GMTVENUE: R. Premadasa Stadium – Colombo, Sri Lanka TOURNAMENT: Sri Lanka vs Zimbabwe 2nd ODI 2024 Sri Lanka vs Zimbabwe Betting Tips Charith Asalanka scored 101 runs before being run-out on Saturday and the middle-order batter is our tip for Sri Lanka’s highest run scorer against Zimbabwe. Dilshan Madushanka has a strike-rate of 22.6 in ODIs and the left-arm pacer is a strong choice for Sri Lanka’s top wicket taker in this match.Although he got a four-ball duck in the opening ODI, we are backing Craig Ervine, Zimbabwe’s skipper, who has played over 300 internationals, to be their highest run scorer in this game. Blessing Muzarabani took 2/62 in the first ODI and the tall pacer is our pick for Zimbabwe’s top wicket taker in the second game of the series.Dilshan Madushanka showed that his performances in the 2023 Cricket World Cup were not a fluke by his two overs on Saturday. We recommend backing him to take over 1.5 wickets in this clash. Sri Lanka vs Zimbabwe TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. SL vs ZIM 2nd ODI Match Prediction & Betting Tips Although Sri Lanka got to bat their full 50 overs in the opening ODI of the three match series on Saturday, only four overs were possible in Zimbabwe’s reply before the rain arrived and the players never returned. As a result, the score is still 0-0 in the series ahead of this match at the same venue, the R Premadasa Stadium, on Monday afternoon. This ODI gets underway at 14:30 local time in Colombo. Sri Lanka were expected to be too strong for Zimbabwe in this series and the play we saw in the first ODI certainly tallied with that opinion. If Sri Lanka put in another good showing with both bat and ball then they should have no problem in getting a win. Zimbabwe‘s bowlers showed that they have some good depth and wicket taking ability as they restricted Sri Lanka to 273/9. However, as expected, their top order batting looked not good enough for this level and that could be a big issue for them again in this ODI. SL vs ZIM Match Toss PredictionSri Lanka won the toss and chose to bat first on Saturday. We predict that both teams will want to bat first if they win the toss ahead of this match. SL vs ZIM Pitch ReportThere was not a great amount of pace and bounce at the R Premadasa Stadium in the opening game and we expect similar conditions. Any score over 280 will be over par. Colombo Weather ReportAlthough the forecast is once again for some rain and possibly thunderstorms during this match, it looks like there should be enough time to get a result on Monday.

SL vs ZIM 1st ODI Match Prediction & Betting Tips Zimbabwe’s tour of Sri Lanka begins with a three-match ODI series and the opening game gets underway in Colombo on Saturday afternoon. This will be Sri Lanka’s first match since they were knocked out of the 2023 Cricket World Cup. For Zimbabwe, they recently lost an ODI series 2-0 at home against Ireland. Read on as we preview this game. The match begins at the R Premadasa Stadium at 14:30 local time. Sri Lanka had a disappointing 2023 Cricket World Cup and finished in ninth place, only avoiding the bottom spot on net-run-rate. However, their lowly position was a surprise as they had had a strong 2023 in ODIs and reached the final of the Asia Cup earlier in the Autumn. They will be very confident of beating a weak Zimbabwe in Colombo. Zimbabwe come into this series with a new coach and a new captain but without enough world class players to make a real impact against the top level sides. They will certainly be comptetitive at times but a lack of top order runs could make it a hard afternoon and evening in Colombo. SL vs ZIM Match Toss PredictionFive of the last seven ODIs at the R Premadasa Stadium have been won by the team batting first. Therefore, we predict that both captains will want to bat first ahead of this ODI. SL vs ZIM Pitch ReportAs ever, there will be some turn for the spinners in Colombo and the pace bowlers will also get some movement from the pitch. A par score will be under 300. Colombo Weather ReportWe can expect cloudy conditions throughout the afternoon and evening on Saturday. Humidity will be high and there will be a constant threat of rain and thunderstorms.
