Cricket fans are in for a treat on 16 January, Tuesday, as Zimbabwe is all set to battle against Sri Lanka during the second T20I match at R.Premadasa Stadium located in Colombo.

Having already sealed the ODI series, Sri Lanka wants to continue their winning streak on T20I as well. They won their first T20I by three wickets, reaching a target of 144 runs in 20 overs. Zimbabwe, eager for a comeback, faces a formidable challenge as Sri Lanka remains the clear favorite.

Head to Head - In their T20 head-to-head, Sri Lanka has a perfect record, winning all four T20 matches against Zimbabwe. The odds seem stacked in Sri Lanka's favor, showcasing their dominance in the format.

Pitch Report - The R. Premadasa Stadium is known for its spin-friendly pitch, providing an advantage to bowlers skilled in this discipline. However, the brisk outfield and shorter boundaries create favorable conditions for batsmen. Chasing a target on this pitch might pose challenges, and considering the weather conditions, the winning captain of the toss might opt to field first.

Weather Report - The weather at The R. Premadasa Stadium is expected to have a temperature around 26°C with a humidity level of approximately 74%.
