Pakistan vs Sri Lanka Dream11 Prediction CWC: Head-to-Head in the ICC Cricket World Cup
Pakistan and Sri Lanka’s shared history in the ICC Cricket World Cup has been as long as it has been one-sided. The two countries have faced off on eight occasions in the World Cup, with the Men in Green winning seven of those bouts.
The most recent match between the two, in the 2019 edition, was washed out due to rain, bringing Sri Lanka’s win-tally over Pakistan in the ODI World Cup to 0.

The defending champions will rely heavily on their big names with the support of the rest of the team. Leg-spinning all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga and batter Dhananjaya de Silva are surely the pick of the bunch.

Pakistan vs Sri Lanka Dream11 Prediction CWC and Pitch Report
The pitch of Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium has seen a fairly equal win
percentage team both – betting and bowling first. However, in recent times, the pitch has shown a tendency to break down as the match progresses, supporting spinners in the final few overs.
While it looks like Sri Lanka has the better spin-duo of Maheesh Theekshana and Wanindu Hasaranga, Pakistan clears when it comes to the batting line-up. That, coupled with the Men in Green’s world-class pace attack and decent spin option, they are the clear favourites to win this match.
