Zimbabwe vs Sri Lanka Prediction: Sri Lanka has been spotless in recent games

Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka are going head to head against each other at Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo, Zimbabwe on 2nd July. This is the fourth game of the super sixes. Sri Lanka has been spotless in recent games. Who will win this game?

Zimbabwe has exceeded expectations in this tournament, securing victories against formidable teams like the West Indies and showcasing exceptional cricket throughout. Their impressive form has carried over into the Super Six stage, as evidenced by their recent triumph over Oman.

The batting department has been a standout aspect of Zimbabwe's performance thus far. Sean Williams has been in exceptional form, amassing three centuries and a half-century in his five innings. He currently leads the tournament in terms of runs scored. Captain Craig Ervine has also displayed good touch in the top order.

Supporting the team in the batting lineup are Joylord Gumbie, Wesley Madhevere, and Ryan Burl, who play crucial supporting roles. Sikandar Raza has been instrumental lower down the order, scoring runs at a brisk pace. Additionally, he has proved to be effective with the ball, claiming nine wickets.

While the team has found success with their spinners, other spin bowlers haven't been as impactful. Richard Ngarava leads the team in terms of wickets, with 12 to his name. He will spearhead the pace attack, alongside Tendai Chatara and Blessing Muzarabani.

As anticipated, Sri Lanka has emerged as one of the most dominant teams in this tournament. With 6 points and an impressive net run rate, they currently hold the top position in the Super Six table and are on track to secure qualification.

Sri Lanka will heavily rely on its formidable batting lineup to post a competitive total in this match. Pathum Nissanka and Dimuth Karunaratne will be key in providing a solid foundation at the top of the order. Karunaratne, in particular, has been outstanding, leading the team's run-scoring charts with two half-centuries and a century to his name.

The lack of form from Kusal Mendis is a slight concern for Sri Lanka, but they have several strong performers in the middle order to compensate. Charith Asalanka, Dhananjaya De Silva, and Sadeera Samarawickrama have been consistent contributors with the bat. The presence of Dasun Shanaka and Wanindu Hasaranga further strengthens their batting depth.

Hasaranga has been exceptional with the ball and currently holds the distinction of being the tournament's leading wicket-taker, having claimed 20 wickets. His spin partner, Maheesh Theekshana, has also displayed promising form in recent matches.

Lahiru Kumara and Dilshan Madushanka will be responsible for spearheading the seam attack for Sri Lanka.

The Queens Club in Bulawayo provides a favourable batting track. Throughout this tournament, the average first-inning score at this venue has been approximately 265. The pitch offers a decent amount of bounce and pace, particularly for the fast bowlers. However, as the match progresses, the spinners will likely come into play more prominently. The weather forecast for the match indicates clear conditions, with temperatures ranging between 20 and 23 degrees Celsius. We expect Sri Lanka to continue their impressive run in the tournament
