Match Prediction:
In the first one-day international of the three-match series, which took place on Saturday, Sri Lanka was given the opportunity to bat for the full fifty overs. However, Zimbabwe was only able to bat for four overs on their response before the rain hit and the players never returned. Prior to this encounter, which will take place on Monday afternoon at the same location, the R Premadasa Stadium, the series is still tied at 0-0. This is the outcome of the last match. At 14:30 local time in Colombo, this one-day international will get underway.
It was anticipated that Sri Lanka would be too powerful for Zimbabwe to handle in this series, and the performance that we witnessed in the first one-day international definitely associated with that idea. In the event that Sri Lanka continues to have a strong performance with both the bat and the ball, then they should have no trouble achieving victory.
Winning Chances:
Toss Prediction:
Sri Lanka elected to bat first on Saturday after winning the toss. We anticipate that both teams, should they prevail in the coin preceding this match, will choose to bat first.
Weather Report:
Conditions are expected to be cloudy for the first three days, with a high probability of precipitation on Thursday. The last two days, nevertheless, are anticipated to be warm and sunny.
Pitch Report:
Despite the reoccurring prediction of rain and possible thunderstorms throughout this match, it appears that Monday will provide sufficient time to obtain a resolution.
Sri Lanka Preview:
On Saturday, in the team’s defeat, 28-year-old batting all-rounder Janith Liyanage made his ODI debut for Sri Lanka. He scored 24 runs off 34 deliveries while batting at number four; he is anticipated to maintain his position in an unchanged XI.
Sri Lanka Squad Predicted:
Avishka Fernando, Kusal Mendis (c) (wk), Sadeera Samarawickrama, Charith Asalanka, Janith Liyanage, Sahan Arachchige, Dasun Shanaka, Maheesh Theekshana, Jeffrey Vandersay, Dushmantha Chameera, Dilshan Madushanka
Zimbabwe Preview:
Zimbabwe is likely to make at least one substitution to its XI for this second ODI, as opening bowler Richard Ngarava is ruled out due to injury. Ryan Burl was required to complete his seventh over, and we expect him to miss this ODI. On Saturday, both Faraz Akram and Tapiwa Mufudza made their ODI debuts.
Zimbabwe Squad Predicted
Takudzwanashe Kaitano, Tinashe Kamunhukamwe, Craig Ervine (c), Milton Shumba, Sikandar Raza, Ryan Burl, Clive Madande (wk), Faraz Akram, Blessing Muzarabani, Tony Munyonga, Tapiwa Mufudza
Sri Lanka vs Zimbabwe Prediction:
Despite the reoccurring prediction of rain during the scheduled hours of this match, the majority of analysts anticipate a resolution on Monday. Zimbabwe had their moments with the ball but were never able to dominate Sri Lanka, and their bowling attack will be hampered due to the probable absence of Richard Ngarava. On Saturday, Sri Lanka emerged victorious, and we therefore forecast that they will prevail in this ODI.
