Sri Lanka vs Zimbabwe (SL vs ZIM) Match Details, 2nd T20I - Pakistan T20I Tri-Series 2025
Pakistan Preview
Sri Lanka entered this contest ranked 8th in the ICC Men’s T20I Team Rankings with a rating of 230. Their recent T20I form has been fairly average, highlighted by their inability to reach the Asia Cup 2025 Semi-Finals. However, with a strong squad named for the Pakistan T20I Tri-Series and several players in good touch, Sri Lanka have a real opportunity to push for a place in the Final.
Players to watch:
1. Pathum Nissanka – After an impressive Asia Cup 2025 campaign, including a standout innings against India, Nissanka is expected to continue scoring heavily and anchor Sri Lanka’s top order.
2. Wanindu Hasaranga – A proven match-winner in T20 cricket, Hasaranga’s wicket-taking ability makes him a key threat once again, and he is likely to play a major role with the ball throughout the tri-series.
Sri Lanka Predicted XI
Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Perera, Kusal Mendis (wk), Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Janith Liyanage, Kamindu Mendis, Dasun Shanaka (c), Maheesh Theekshana, Dushmantha Chameera, Nuwan Thushara, Vijayakanth Viyaskanth
Zimbabwe Preview
Zimbabwe sit at the bottom of the points table after starting the Pakistan T20I Tri-Series with a defeat. Brian Bennett is currently their leading run-scorer with 49 runs, while Brad Evans tops the wicket-taking chart for them with two dismissals.
In their previous outing, Zimbabwe went down to Pakistan by 5 wickets. Batting first, they posted 147/8 in 20 overs. The opening pair gave them a solid start as Tadiwanashe Marumani scored 30 and Brian Bennett impressed with a fluent 49 off 36 balls. However, Brendan Taylor and Ryan Burl couldn’t capitalise and fell cheaply. Sikandar Raza steadied the innings with an unbeaten 34, guiding Zimbabwe to a competitive total, but it ultimately wasn’t enough to secure a win.
Zimbabwe Predicted XI
Brian Bennett, Dion Myers, Brendan Taylor (wk), Sikandar Raza (c), Ryan Burl, Tashinga Musekiwa, Clive Madande, Brad Evans, Graeme Cremer, Wellington Masakadza, Richard Ngarava
