Zimbabwe vs Sri Lanka Prediction & Betting Tips 2025

Sikandar Raza was the standout player in the ODI series against Sri Lanka as he scored 92 and 59 and he was solid in the opening game as he scored 28 runs which makes us believe he will score well in the upcoming game.

Charith Asalanka has struggled to make an impact in T20i in this calendar year. So far this year he has scored 43 runs in five matches and in the last game he scored one run which makes us believe he will score low in the upcoming game.

Zimbabwe vs Sri Lanka Betting Odds

Sri Lanka to have a better opening partnership than Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka go head to head in the second match after a close game in the first match but it was Sri Lanka who won the game. Zimbabwe batted first as their batters had a brilliant game as they scored 175 runs thanks to a brilliant half century by Brian Bennett. Sri Lanka openers were outstanding on the day and as expected they were the difference makers as Sri Lanka had an opening partnership of 96 runs and they eventually managed to win the game with four wickets to spare. Even though we expect a better performance by Zimbabwe bowlers in this game, Sri Lanka openers will once again outshine Zimbabwe openers and Sri Lanka will end up with a better opening partnership in the upcoming game.

Pathum Nissanka to be Sri Lanka’ top batter

Pathum Nissanka was sensational in the opening game as he scored a brilliant half century and was the leading run scorer in the match. With 189 runs, he is the leading run scorer for his side in 2025 which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
