The batters will have to be cautious against the new ball as it might do a bit with the conditions being on the cooler side.

With the temperature expected to be around 10 degrees Celsius during the match, there are high chances of dew playing a major role at the backend of the first innings and throughout the second innings as well.

Due to this, it would be a wise decision by the captain who wins the toss in the SL vs ZIM match to bowl first.

The reason is that it won't be easy for the bowlers, especially the spinners, to grip the ball as it will get wet, which will make batting easy in the second innings.

Keeping that in mind, a score of 180-190 is what the team batting first should look to score to have a say in the game, as anything less than that will be hard to defend.

Talking about the record that both teams possess against each other at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium in the T20I format of the game, this will be the first instance when Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe will go head-to-head at this venue.

Having said that, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe have played nine T20I games against each other so far, with Sri Lanka having a 7-2 lead over Zimbabwe.

Zimbabwe would fancy their chances of getting the better of Sri Lanka, having already played at this ground in the series opener against Pakistan.

However, Sri Lanka will also take confidence from the fact that they defeated Pakistan by a margin of three matches to none when they last toured Pakistan for a T20I series.

The SL vs ZIM match promises to offer a good contest between bat and ball as both teams would look to put their best foot forward in an attempt to win the game and open their account in the tri-series.

Conclusion

Sri Lanka would like to start the tri-series with a win and keep their strong record in T20I cricket in Pakistan in check, having won the last series that they played in this part of the world by a margin of three matches to none against Pakistan back in 2019.

Zimbabwe, on the other hand, would like to get its tri-series campaign back on track after losing the opening match.
