Match Details
Match: Sri Lanka vs Zimbabwe
Date: January 16, 2022
Time: 02:30 PM IST.
Venue: Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, Pallekele.
Weather Report
Tomorrow’s weather prediction for Pallekele Cricket Stadium in Kandy, Sri Lanka is spotty rain. The temperature will reach 31 degrees Celsius during the day and 19 degrees Celsius at night. The weather will be largely dry, with little or no precipitation and clouds covering 27% of the sky, with 81% humidity.
Pitch Report
The surface will be slower, and spinners will pose a serious threat. It will be vital to score runs with the new ball. Although it is a good batting pitch, there will be greater help for spinners. As the game progresses, the wicket begins to slow down, so anything above 250 is a solid competitive score.
Squad Comparison
Sri Lanka
Rumesh Ratnayake, who has taken command of the squad on an interim basis following the resignation of previous head coach Mickey Arthur, will be backed by Ruwin Paris in this three-match ODI series. After testing positive for Covid-19, top-order hitter Aviska Fernando will miss the whole ODI series, but the hosts will be buoyed by the participation of Niroshan Dickwella, Danushka Gunathilaka, and Kusal Mendis, who have all had their international suspensions overturned.
Sri Lanka Playing XI
Dasun Shanaka (c), Kusal Mendis, Pathum Nissanka, Charith Asalanka, Dinesh Chandimal, Ramesh Mendis, Chamika Karunaratne, Dushmantha Chameera, Nuwan Pradeep, Maheesh Theekshana, Praveen Jayawickrama
Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe will also approach this first ODI without a regular head coach, as Lalchand Rajput was forced into isolation after contracting Covid-19, a setback for Zimbabwe, who have only won one of their past 16 ODI matches. The tourists will need to put together a batting order capable of making up the runs lost by Brendan Taylor’s retirement, with Craig Ervine named captain and the seasoned combo of Sikandar Raza and Sean Williams likely to form the spine of their batting order.

Match Prediction for Sri Lanka vs Zimbabwe
Following the retirement of Taylor, who had been a key figure for them with the bat for many years, Zimbabwe is a country in transition, so it’d be understandable if the visitors struggled on a surface that favoured the host team and their multitude of dangerous spin-bowling options. The hosts are coming off a strong performance in their previous Test series against the West Indies, and while this is a different format of cricket with a lot of personnel changes, Sri Lanka, with home advantage, should be able to put up a good score with the bat, even without Fernando.
When you combine it with a bowling squad that should be much too powerful for Zimbabwe in Kandy’s regular spin-friendly conditions, it’s a no-brainer to support Sri Lanka to win the opening ODI. When considering the possibility of adverse weather, it’s best to keep an eye on the forecast leading up to the start of play and avoid making any hasty decisions.
