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. The keeper-batter is well worth backing as Sri Lanka’s highest run scorer against Zimbabwe. 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.
