Sri Lanka Team News & Playing 11

Danushka Gunathilaka, Asela Gunaratne and Angelo Mathews did a good job with the bat in the ODI series against Zimbabwe last year and the team will look to them to score the big runs in this match. Mathews scored the most runs for Sri Lanka in the India ODI series and he will be the key batsman for his side. Thisara Perera and Suranga Lakmal had troubled the Indian batsmen and these two quicks will be backed by the team to get the early breakthroughs. Akila Dananjaya and Lakshan Sandakan will form a threatening spin combination.

Sri Lanka Predicted Playing 11

  • Angelo Mathews (c), Upul Tharanga, Danushka Gunathilaka, Niroshan Dickwella (wk), Asela Gunaratne, Thisara Perera, Suranga Lakmal, Akila Dananjaya, Dinesh Chandimal, Nuwan Pradeep, Lakshan Sandakan

Zimbabwe Team News & Playing 11

They had a rough day with the bat against Bangladesh and they will look to make amends this time around. For that to happen, they will need significant contributions from the likes of Hamilton Masakadza, Sikandar Raza and Solomon Mire. Raza struck a fifty in that opening game and he is expected to bat well again. The allrounder was also the pick of the bowlers (2 wickets at economy of 5.30) and he could be effective against the Lankans as well on this spin-friendly surface. Zimbabwe will also need good support from Graeme Cremer and Kyle Jarvis.

­Sri Lanka vs Zimbabwe 2nd ODI Betting Odds

Sri Lanka are the apparent favorites amongst the bookmakers to win the second match of the Bangladesh Tri-Nation Series at very short odds of 1.22 on Betfair, 1.20 on Bet365 and 1.17 on Unibet. The Lankans had lost a home ODI series 2-3 against Zimbabwe last year and they will be looking to exact their revenge in this match. Zimbabwe were completely outplayed by the hosts in the first game and they begin as huge underdogs for this one at 4.50 on Bet365 and 5 each on Betfair and Unibet.

­Sri Lanka vs Zimbabwe 2nd ODI Prediction

The lack of application from the Zimbabwean batsmen in sub-continent conditions was clearly exposed by Bangladesh who bundled them out for just 170. And barring a couple of decent performances with the ball, their bowlers struggled to take wickets and contain the batsmen. It could be a similar story again against Sri Lanka who are familiar with these conditions. Though Zimbabwe will take confidence from their ODI series win against the Lankans, we don't expect them to win this time especially after their poor show in the last game.

Final Verdict: Back Sri Lanka to beat Zimbabwe at 1.22 on betfair, 1.20 on bet365 and 1.17 on Unibet.
