SL vs PAK Dream11 team predictions and suggestions for the 1st Test match between Sri Lanka and Australia on Saturday (July 16): The legends of the subcontinent will clash in the oldest form of cricket as Sri Lanka host Pakistan for a two-match Test series. The first match will start from July 16 at the Galle International Stadium.
The backdrop of the series has been tarnished by the outrageous protests by Sri Lankans in light of the financial crisis in the country. But as of now, it will not create any hindrance in the cricketing scenario as the match starts on Saturday.
Sri Lanka recently drew their home series against World Test Championship leaders Australia. Dimuth Karunaratne’s determined Lankan team defeated the Australian team by an innings in the second Test. With experienced batsmen like Dinesh Chandimal, Kusal Mendis and skipper Karunaratne themselves making the move for Lanka, the batting looks very strong now. Veteran Angelo Mathews will return to the team after missing out on the second Test against Australia due to Kovid.
Pakistan has been exceptional in the new cycle of WTC 2022-23. It is at the fourth position ahead of India in the points table. Looks like Pakistan have a responsible batting line-up under their captain Babar Azam. The world-class batsman has received significant support from players like Mohammad Rizwan, Imam-ul-Haq and Azhar Ali. Bowling has always been Pakistan’s strength and they have found a deadly fast bowler in Shaheen Shah Afridi. The team is looking strong and will try to get more points to move up the WTC table.
