Sri Lanka Team Fantasy Analysis

Sri Lanka lost the first T20I by six wickets and will look for a better showing. Janith Liyanage was the top scorer with 40, while Charith Asalanka added useful runs. With the ball, Maheesh Theekshana and Dushmantha Chameera picked up a wicket each.

Pathum Nissanka and Kamil Mishara are expected to open, with Kusal Mendis at No.3. The middle order will be handled by Dhananjaya de Silva, Asalanka and Liyanage. Wanindu Hasaranga and Dasun Shanaka provide finishing options, along with Chameera and Theekshana.

For Dream11, Hasaranga remains Sri Lanka’s best all-round pick, while Nissanka and Kusal Mendis are the main batting options. Theekshana is a useful bowling choice in the powerplay and middle overs.

Pakistan Team Fantasy Analysis

Pakistan made a strong start with a six-wicket win. Sahibzada Farhan scored 51 at the top, with Saim Ayub giving quick support. Salman Mirza and Abrar Ahmed led the bowling with three wickets each.

Farhan and Ayub will open again, followed by Agha Salman. Fakhar Zaman, Usman Khan and Shadab Khan form the middle order. Mirza and Mohammad Wasim Jr will take the new ball, while Shadab, Faheem Ashraf and Mohammad Nawaz handle the middle overs. Abrar remains the main wicket-taking spinner.

From a Dream11 view, Farhan and Ayub are good top-order picks, while Shadab Khan offers points with both bat and ball. Abrar Ahmed is a strong bowling option after his impact in the first game.

SL vs PAK Pitch Report & Weather Update for Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium, Dambulla

The Dambulla pitch is expected to stay slow and spin-friendly, similar to the first T20I. Spinners should have a strong role in the middle overs as the surface grips and makes stroke-play harder.

Overcast weather is likely again, which could assist swing bowlers early. Batting may be challenging in the powerplay
